Hi John, I am trying to upgrade my DNN 4.5.5 to 4.8.2
As you maybe remember, I had problems in the past with Snapsis Page Blaster since I am using a multi lingual portal (french/english). I also have Ventrian FriendlyURL as well as Apollo, DSLocalisator (Locopon) modules to enable the multi lingual. Until now, it works perfectlly. But now that I want to switch to 4.8.2, I have problems with multi lingual (and I need your help to do a small trick with Page Blaster)... For Friendly URL, there is a solution called "Bruce Chapman URL Master" (the old friendly url is not working anymore in 4.8.2 multilingual, unfortunately). So, with B. Chapman URLMaster, everything looks fine, excepted that we still have few problems with DSlocalisator and URLMaster (see here). One of the current major problem, is the impossibility to have a page name unique. I explain, taking an example. A page is named GREETING. With DSLocalisator, you set the menu-name in french to be BONJOUR and the menu-name in english to be HELLO. So, depending of the locale you have, it is displayed as BONJOUR or HELLO in the menu and breadcrumb.
With Friendly URL, it should looks like: http://xxxx/language/us-US/hello.aspx or http://xxxx/language/fr-FR/bonjour.aspx But, URLmaster is currently not able to use this type of URL, unfortunately. URL Master is rewritting it as: http://xxxx/language/fr-FR/greeting.aspx or http://xxxx/language/us-US/greeting.aspx
Bruce Chapman might do something in the future, but since multi lingual portals are not so popular, I am afraid that nothing won't be done in the near future. With DSLocalisator, I am obliged to 301-redirect
http://xxxx/language/fr-FR/bonjour.aspx to http://xxxx/language/fr-FR/greeting.aspx
http://xxxx/language/us-US/hello.aspx to http://xxxx/language/us-US/greeting.aspx
This is because when you click on the flag or the breadcrumb, it takes into account the menu-name (hello or bonjour). If you still follow me, I am quite sure that we might be able to do something with your module, by avoiding to display /language/us-US/hello.aspx and replacing it with /language/us-US/greeting.aspx for breadcrumb. And this should be done for all breadcrumb. What is your opinion ?
In other word, we should force the breadcrumb to display the link as /language/us-US/greeting.aspx instead of /language/us-US/hello.aspx. Should be possible, isn't it ??? Thanks in advance,
DV FX PS: I have seen that Page Blaster is 301-redirect capable, so maybe you have another solution to Friendly URL ???
PS Bis: I have installed locally my Free community version of Page Blaster (00.03.02), but I have an error message when entering the licence key or locall IP Address 127.0.1.1
