Would a URL Rewrite be possible?

[slickdf]

Would it be possible to do a URL rewrite in a .htaccess to change "/Templates/Default/" to "/" so for example "/Templates/Default/login.aspx" would be "/login.aspx"?

 

Thanks in advance.

Well, that url is the physical location from the Web folder. If you go to the TCAdmin Control Panel\Web folder, you can navigate to the Templates\Default folder. I tried changing the home directory of the tcadmin website just now to C:\Program Files\TCAdmin Control Panel\Web\Templates\Default and you get a server error.

URL rewriting gets around that. When you request /page.aspx you can make a rewrite rule to actually request and return /templates/default/page.aspx. As long as the TCAdmin URLs are relative and not absolute, it should work -give it a go!

It can't be with htaccess since its on IIS, will have to be with ASP rewrites. Not sure about that.

Yes it can be apache-style rewrites on IIS - take a look at Iconic's ISAPI Rewrite Filter. I use it with my main site running on IIS, no reason why it won't work with TCAdmin IIS site. The only difference is that it loads the rewrite settings from the same directory that the DLL is in, not via .htaccess.

Just been looking and not like apache there isnt a rewrite engine in there already. I have found this but seems little much effort http://urlrewriter.net.

I only said it was possible, not that I would do it. By all means give it a go but as the panel isn't meant for SEO or will benefit it in any way, I don't thnk there is a real need for it.
