Testing a Page URL

How to view the exact URL for a page to see how it appears to site users. This tool provides an easy way to view URLs following changes to URL settings such as those on the General tab of the Advanced URL Management module without the need to navigate to individual pages. E.g. In the below example the page About Us has been selected and an optional querystring has been added. The test results show how the URL will look once the URL settings that have been configured for the site (in this example both "Convert URL to Lowercase" and "PageA page on a DNN site. URL concatenation" settings are enabled See "Managing URL Settings for this Site") are applied to the URL. If this module is added to a site page, authenticated users must be granted view rights to the page.

  1. Navigate to AdminRegistered users who are members of the Administrators role. These users have full access to manage the site including adding, deleting and editing all pages and modules. Administrators also have access to the Admin pages located on the main menu. > Advanced Settings >  Advanced URL Management.
  2. Select the Test URL tab.
  3. At Select a PageA page on a DNN site. to Test, select a page from the Pages available in the SiteRefers to a single and unique site created using DNN. Multiple unique sites can be created and managed within each installed DNN application. list. Pages displayed can be filtered by entering all or part of a page name into the text box displayed above the pages list and then clicking the Search button.
  4. Optional. In the Optional Settings section complete any of the following:
    1. In the Add this Query String text box, enter the path information in the form of a querystring to generate a URL. E.g. entering &key=value will change the generated URL to include/key/value in the URL path. Use this feature to test out the example URL's generated by third party URLs.
    2. In the Custom PageA page on a DNN site. Name / URL End String text box, enter the value for the ‘pagename’ value that is used when generating the URL for a module that generates a friendly URL by defining the last part of the URL explicitly. Leave this field blank for no explicit value.
  5. Click the Test URL button. This displays the URL in the Resulting URLs list to the right.

  1. Optional. To test this URL, See "Testing URL Rewriting"
