umbracoUrlName Vs umbracoUrlAlias


umbracoUrlName

This property will allow you to rename your URL without updating the node name.


So for instance. The URL to this page is darrenwelch.co.uk/blog/umbracoUrlName-Vs-umbracoUrlAlias/


If you would like to have a shorter, neater URL without affecting the node name in the back office.

You need to:

  • Create a new property on the document type
    • name: "umbracoUrlName"
    • type: "Textstring".
  • Open the content node and fill in the new field with the value "shortname".
  • Our new URL would become: darrenwelch.co.uk/blog/shortname/

 

 

umbracoUrlAlias

This property allows you to set up multiple URLs for one content node.

To set this up: 

  • You need to:
  • create a new property on the document type with the name "umbracoUrlAlias" and type of "Textstring".
  • Open the content node and fill in the new field with the value "shortnames, name-vs-alias".
  • Our new URL would become: darrenwelch.co.uk/shortnames/ & darrenwelch.co.uk/name-vs-alias/

 

Things to note:

  • The original URL still works. 
  • You can add as many links as you like as a comma separated link.
  • The URLs will be created in the route. e.g. darrenwelch.co.uk/myNewAlias
