Is there a URLHelper Method that follows/obeys the URL/SEO Settings?

Is there a URLHelper Method that follows/obeys the Settings: UseURLsWithTrailingSlash, CaseRedirectEnum, Domain always www (or not), or the other settings?

I've looked at the decompiled DLL and I do not see anything that does this. Is there a method somewhere else that does this?

Kentico is doing it somewhere. I'd rather not rewrite all that logic if it exists already.

Thanks!

Hey Mark,

You may be able to take advantage of the CMS.URLRewritingEngine.URLRewriter class. Looking in the source it looks like there is a RewriteUrl(RequestStatusEnum status, string relativePath, ExcludedSystemEnum excludedEnum) method that calls all of those items you're looking for and returns a CMS.Helpers.RequestStatusEnum.

Thanks for looking into it @brenden-kehren, I appreciate your time.

Actually after digging into CMS\CMSModules\Content\CMSDesk\Properties\General.aspx.cs

And figuring out the Live URL. it looks like this is doing what I want.

pageUrl = Node.IsLink ? DocumentURLProvider.GetUrl(Node.NodeAliasPath) : DocumentURLProvider.GetUrl(Node.NodeAliasPath, Node.DocumentUrlPath);
pageUrl = URLHelper.ResolveUrl(pageUrl);
