I would put the date of the message in the url (connect UrlRewrite). Is it easy?

Ej.:

The http://demo.webwiznewspad.com/web-wiz-newspad-2-final-released_post2.html

becomes http://demo.webwiznewspad.com/2012/08/09/web-wiz-newspad-2-final-released_post2.html

This could be possible but would require both modification of the NewsPad code and the URL Rewrite rules in order to have it work.

You would probably looking at many days of work in order to achieve this, as you would need to update all links to include the date and then rewrite the URL Rewrite rules to work with the new URL's.

How I can change "_post" to "/" in web.config?

When I do it recharges as a new subdirectory.

The http://demo.webwiznewspad.com/web-wiz-newspad-2-final-released_post2.html

becomes http://demo.webwiznewspad.com/web-wiz-newspad-2-final-released/2.html

Thanks,

If you change an item in the URL to "/" you are effectively creating a new sub directory as that was "/" is a new sub directory.

It is quite difficult as you need to write the rewrite rules to handle the "/", which is affective changing to a new directory, or so it appears.

There are lots of tutorials on URL Rewrite online, you would need to look at these at no use the directory switch in any Rewrite rules so can not tell you how it is done.
