Powerful Features That Put You In Control
Safely Replaces Other URL Rewriters
With URL Adapter, removing your old URL rewriter is simple. You just need to install URL Adapter from Host>Extensions and it will take care to remove the default URL Rewriter.
SEO and Human Friendly URLs
URL Adapter automatically generates clear and understandable URLs which encourage people to click on your listing and search engines to better understand your content.
Custom URLs
Additionally, create custom URLs for each page. Define which is the preferred URL and optionally enforce all the others to point to the this URL using 301 or 302 redirects.
URLs from Page Name, Title or Description
For SEO purposes it's better to use long descriptive links, but you don't what long names in menus. URL adapter addressed this allowing building the URLs from Page Title or Description as well.
HTTP Logging
Using this option you can log the HTTP errors such as 404 not found or 500 internal server error in order to see which URL went to a 404 or 500 page and for how many times.
Advanced Rules
This feature allows you to write rules that match directly on URLs. You can specify which part of the URL to match, such as: domain, relative URL, alsolute URL, query string, schemeless URL.
404 Error Page
URL Adapter can be configured to replace the current 404 page with a custom one.
Relative or Absolute URLs
Once with URL Adapter 1.3 we’ve added an option to choose either to generate relative or absolute URLs.
Debug Logging
With this option URL Adapter generates detailed information about what happens behind the scenes.
CSV Import/Export
This feature allows you to import and export advanced rules to and from URL Adapter Administration Console. You can import hundreds, even thousands of rules using one file.
URL Adapter Works Side by Side with DNN URL Provider
Pages can be accessed with both URLs generated by URL adapter and by DNN URL Provider. Select which one you prefer and optionally enforce that with a 301 or 302 redirect.
Fast and Easy to Setup
The intuitive user interface of URL Adapter allows you to rewrite your URLs to benefit search engine rankings in just few minutes. Our secret sauce is AngularJs and Twitter Bootstrap.
Friendly User Pages
Interested in seeing what /activity/feed?userId=123 is up to? Or you prefer /users/mike instead? This format also applies to subpages such as messages, friends, profile and so on.
Choose a URL for Homepage
The problem is that DNN lets you access the page under root /, under /Default.aspx, or under /Home.aspx. URL Adapter let's you define which on you prefer and optionally enforce that with a 301 or 302 redirect.
URLs With or Without the aspx Extension
Choose whether you want aspx extension in your URLs. Optionally enforce that with a 301 or 302 redirect. Note that extensionless URLs may not work on your IIS, so check before enabling.
301 and 302 Redirects
Search engines specifically states the importance of avoiding duplicate content. A 301 redirect comes in very handy in eliminating this issue.
Option to Force Lowercase
Cenerate the URLs in lowercase. Although IIS is not case sensitive, this is good practice as some search engines may think of pages in various case as being different.
Ignore Accents Option
Convert accents to their Latin equivalent in the URLs. Most browsers support having accents in the URL, but in some countries that is not common practice and the Latin equivalent is preferred.
Replace Space and Punctuation
This feature allows you to choose how to replace punctuation and white space in URLs or just remove it all. Note that is good practice for SEO to have a separator and usually that is a dash -.
Choose Path Separators
Using this option you can choose what separator you want in order to make your URLs SEO-friendly. The common separator is the forward slash /.
Multi-Language Compatible
URL Adapter integrates with DNN language mechanism. It puts the language code ad the beginning of the friendly URLs similar to how the standard URL provider does.
Fallback Measures
Disable URL Adapter or even reset all settings to the default, including switching back to the DNN provider via an API URL.
Enabled/Disabled Option
Once with URL Adapter 1.3 we’ve implemented the ability to enable/disable URL Adapter so you can switch to DNN Friendly URL at any time.
Enforce Special Pages
This option allows you to enforce Terms Page, Privacy Page, Login Page, Logout Page, Register Page so there's only one friendly version called for example "/terms" and not "/home?ctl=terms".
Multiple Integrations
URL Adapter integrates with some of the biggest names in the DNN blogs, news and directories modules scene such as: SubBlogNuke, EasyDNNnews, News Article, DNNInfo Classifieds and Property Agent.

You Have Questions, We Have The Answers
Frequently asked questions cover answers to most of the questions that you might have related to URL Adapter. Please read this section carefully before waiting for support. Who knows? You might find the answer quicker than expected.
FAQ 1. Is there a trial version available?
Yes. You can download the URL Adapter 30 day free trial from here
The trial version is identical to the full version, except for the time limitations.
FAQ 2. Can I extend my trial?
No, but for outstanding situations, please email us at sales@dnnsharp.com.
FAQ 3. Will I lose the settings I make during the trial when I buy?
Absolutely not. You just need to use for activation the registration key received via email after the purchase was made.
FAQ 4. I’ve hired a developer to work on my site. Who should buy the license?
You should. It is always best for you, the site owner, to have access to your account on dnnsharp.com. That’s how you access downloads, license keys, and support. You can purchase an URL Adapter license under your own name and then give the developer the license key for the site. That way, you retain control of your own module purchase in the event that you need access or decide to switch developers.
FAQ 5. Can I use URL Adapter to build and distribute applications?
You can integrate and distribute URL Adapter with your own products, but it should not be main functionality, it shoud be added value, and should not be in competition with our existing product. If we go into competition later, the developer will still be allowed to use the version he owns at that time, and continue to develop it, but will not receive new updates.
FAQ 6. Can I have one instance for dev, staging and live?
Yes, but please contact us at sales@dnnsharp.com.
FAQ 7. Can the license be transferred?
Yes, but only if there is a transfer of ownership of the entire product.
FAQ 8. Can I upgrade to different license type later?
Yes, you can upgrade to a higher tier (and more value-packed) license for just the price difference in qualifying purchases made within the past 3 months. If your purchase was made more than 3 months ago, don’t worry, we still have a special offer for you. Just email us at sales@dnnsharp.com.
FAQ 9. Where can I get support?
We have a dedicated support forum for URL Adapter.
This forum is monitored on week days. That is the best place to pose your questions; not only does our team moderate the forum and provide light module support, but other users are always chiming into the the discussions with their own thoughts — which makes for a solid experience on all fronts, and allows a number of perspectives that wouldn’t be present during an email exchange.
Our support forums focus on helping people with bugs and other issues, and we can not provide in-depth support on complex customizations of our modules. Most legitimate bugs that are reported will be logged and fixed for the next release; if a workaround can be easily provided, we’ll share one in the interim. When it comes to customization, while we’re happy to help point users in the right direction towards accomplishing a desired customization if we can, we won’t build your site or app for you.
FAQ 10. If I upgrade my DNN version, do I need to also upgrade the module?
It's recommended because we test and optimize for new versions. Sometimes, new DNN version also breaks our modules so then you'll be required to upgrade. It's recommended to upgrade all at once to optimize the Q&A costs.
