URL Rewriting with Custom Tables

Hi,

I'm currently building my first site with Kentico. I want to know if it's possible to use URL rewriting to pull out individual records from a custom table. For example, I have a news table with the following structure

ID
Name
Date
Abstract
Copy
etc

I would like to create a URL that maps to that record e.g.
/news/{year}/{month}/{title} which becomes
/news/2010/05/this-is-the-news-item-title.aspx

which would then map to, for example
/CMSTemplates/MySite/News.aspx?recordID=XXXX

Is this possible?

RE:URL Rewriting with Custom Tables

Hi,

You could handle custom URL re-writing in Global.asax.cs file (in App_Code folder). However, I would recommend you using URL wildcards. Please see the documentation.

You can access the values of wildcards as query string macros so you can use them in the Where condition of listing web parts on your page. You can use Custom table repeater, Custom table datagrid or Custom table datalist and use its Where condition. Optionally, you can use a custom table data source and Basic repeater/datalist. Please see the documentation.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
