Is anyone using the following combination(s) on their site. If so, have you had any issues with the modules working together? Especially links to the photos, videos, etc. etc.?

UVG, AS, AF, URL Master, Pageblaster, and any Ventrian modules?

Care to share how you have things configured?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Herb

Hi Herb,

I use all 3 of these, however only the PM part of AS is live at the moment. I am waiting on one more change from Bruce from Ifinity in URL for the profile URLs. I exclude ActiveForums and Active social in the PB configuration.

I need to use UM for the vanity URLs as it does 301s on all the previous types of URLs that I specified for my profile page. The problem is that the Account and Settings button do not work - I have raised this will Bruce and waiting to hear back from him - PLEASE send him an email asking him about the state of UM and AS.

I plan on switching to AS for the Vanity URL but I do not like the 404 solution in IIS 6 (I have a 404 page already) PLUS I would lose my 301 redirects on all old URLs. I need to make some URLS regex expressions up to handle these at some point and will switch when the AS Vanity URL can handle 301s better. So hopefully profiles will be live soon on PokerDIY as soon as Bruce gets back to me

1.3 doesn't require the 404.aspx file.

Hmm - seems I misunderstood the PDF on Vanity URLs. But I still want to use Ifinity until I can figure out how to redirect all my old style URLs scattered around the web for the last 4 years (I have about 10 different rules set up in UM that do 301 redirects to the new one). I need to switch to AS as soon as possible to future-proof it... (this SEO stuff is really the last thing holding me up on completing the profile/groups switch on PokerDIY!)

PDF hasn't been updated for 1.3 yet. We are moving towards a full URL handling solution since we are now dealing with URLs for profiles, groups, blogs(not public yet) and Active Forums 5.

I setup Vanity URLs this morning for the first time, Server 2008, IIS 7, Integrated Pipeline Mode, DNN 5.2.1, AS 1.3.3.

I was only able to get it working after creating the 404.aspx file.

Ahhhhh, maybe that is why...

Usually means the web.config isn't updated properly or the SocialRewrite element needs to be higher on the list.

No, the PDF is still accurate for IIS7/Integrated Pipeline mode.

OK, I am rebuilding a site from scratch. What should I do regarding the url rewriting? Is AS going to implement full rewriting in the near term? Is AF 5 relatively close to a release. I would almost rather wait a short while on an integrated AM solution. But if we are months out from this I probably cannot wait. Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Love the new AM site. Really nice.

Mine is working on IIS7, DNN 4.9.4 and AS 1.3.3, No custom 404 required:

I have URL Master installed (for everything else) but have not turned it on yet. Just finished some major upgrading of the site and a server migration so I'll get to that when I have slept more than four hours at a time.

I do have it working with URL Master on my test box (IIS7, DNN 4.9.4, URL Master, AS Vaninty URLs and no custom 404)

+1 Same here

Is Rodney the only one using PB?

Thanks everyone for the feedback, this will be helpful!

I double-checked the documentation, and the SocialRewriter lines were copied verbatim and are the first line in each section. 

I did notice one difference though...

Documentation:
  [system.webServer]
  [modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"]

 

My web.config:
  [system.webServer]
  [modules]
 

I double-checked the release.config and that is what is being distributed with 5.2.1 (I always use the release.config modified with my specific settings).  Could this be why I have to have the 404.aspx file?

Herb,

I'm using all of the modules you have mentioned (incl. PB) and am currently running DNN522. Rodney seemed to have some problems with the JSON and I haven't had one (up till now). I only use PB for caching purposes and use URL Master to rewrite my URLs.

I did the steps for creating a custom 301 redirects on DNN 5.2.2/IIS 7/Pipeline integrated mode, and it is working fine that way. I have not yet went back through the server to test adding the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequest line to my web.config to see if that would allow me to do it the other way.
