Permalink Structure

I have been creating a personal blog engine for the last couple of ws
because I am tired of using WordPress and I don't have a SQL server
back-end. I have successfully created a working URL rewriting engine
(via Global.asax) that cleans illegal characters from the post title,
uses Regular Expressions to grab the entryID (ie 13), rewrite the path
(entry.aspx?entryID=13).
My current permalink structure is as follows:
root/blog/testing-post-example-00013.aspx
I have noticed that some blog engines have the following schemas for
their permalink structures:
root/blog/testing-post-example/00013.aspx
I have tried to create this structure programmatically with the
following code:
string EntryTitle = "testing-post-example";
string PermaLink = EntryTitle + "/" + "000" + EntryID + ".aspx";
When I try to run this I get the error that the file can't be found,
obviously. There must be a way to create this link structure without
having to physically create the directories. I can't imagine that all
of these bloggers login and create a directory for each post and place a
"showEntry.aspx" file in there.
Any suggestions?

Permalinks

Hello,

I am creating a simple Asp.Net Blog system. All blog posts have an ID which is an unique identifier (a GUID).

Now I wanna create permalinks. What format should I use? How can I do this?

Could someone, please, help me out?

Thanks,

Miguel

What's a permalink and what is it supposed to do?

Hi,

A permalink is a redefinition of the url in an easier way for a user to read or identify it.

Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink

For example a blog post with such an url:

http://www.mydomain.com/post.aspx?id=398179823223

would become something like:

http://www.mydomain.com/<4 digit year>/<2 digit month>/<2 digit day>/<article name>/

This would show the post with id=398179823223

I don't know exactly how to implement this in my ASP.NET web site.

Thanks,

Miguel

Hi shapper,

Forgive me cuz i'm not familiar with this "permanent link" and what i suggested may be wrong. I searched thru the internet and found the following informaton. i hope it can be helpful to solve your problems anyway.

"With Ajaxium it is easy to construct permanent links which guide exactly to the page opened. So if the ASP.NET page is accessible for the visitor by a link, it is just as accessible when Ajaxium is enabled." (Orignial Article see:http://www.ajaxium.com/ajax-critique.aspx) So, could you try to impliment it using AJAX?

Hope my suggestion helps . thanks :)

Why sue URL rewriting? What did it do to you? :-)

Depending on the format used it can be a convenient way to map the permalink
to the actual page. For example the OP could parse all year/month/title.aspx
permalinks so that they all map to a default.aspx?id=someid request...

Permalink Structure

I have been creating a personal blog engine for the last couple of weeks
because I am tired of using WordPress and I don't have a SQL server
back-end. I have successfully created a working URL rewriting engine
(via Global.asax) that cleans illegal characters from the post title,
uses Regular Expressions to grab the entryID (ie 13), rewrite the path
(entry.aspx?entryID=13).

My current permalink structure is as follows:

root/blog/testing-post-example-00013.aspx

I have noticed that some blog engines have the following schemas for
their permalink structures:

root/blog/testing-post-example/00013.aspx

I have tried to create this structure programmatically with the
following code:

string EntryTitle = "testing-post-example";
string PermaLink = EntryTitle + "/" + "000" + EntryID + ".aspx";

When I try to run this I get the error that the file can't be found,
obviously. There must be a way to create this link structure without
having to physically create the directories. I can't imagine that all
of these bloggers login and create a directory for each post and place a
"showEntry.aspx" file in there.

Any suggestions?
