Features Not Supported by Aliasing

Aliasing is not supported in the following areas of Ektron CMS400.NET.

search results

images

content in root folder * (cannot be automatically aliased, although you can alias it manually and by taxonomy)

forums (discussion boards) * (links within forum posts can be aliased)

forms/polls/surveys *- the form is aliased but the postback screen is not (for a workaround, see http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/02/26/tip-trick-url-rewriting-with-asp-net.aspx > “Handling ASP.NET PostBacks with URL Rewriting”)

a link to an HTML form

content links within the directory server control

If a template is assigned to a taxonomy (see below), the template takes precedence over an alias for content found by a directory server control

See Screen Sample

* - looking to support in future release

eCommerce - items in a Shopping Cart control use an alias unless you assign an .aspx page in the control’s TemplateProduct property. If you assign a page there, that page is used in the product’s URL, not the alias.

If you enable .asp as an extension, the alias does not appear when a site visitor hovers the cursor over an asset. Instead, the actual file name appears. See Also: Extension

If a site visitor hovers the cursor over HTML content, the alias does appear.

The alias does not appear when a site visitor viewing an RSS page hovers the cursor over an asset. Instead, the actual file name appears.
