Not sure if this is even possible (will probably have a play myself later) but here is my feature request.

We have a few links floating around for various articles.  Is it possible to create URL Redirector values for these the old links

eg port:

http://xx/KB/article.aspx?id=10025

to

http://xx/KB/KnowledgebaseArticle10025.aspx

and

http://bknewho-web/BradkenKB/?cNode=1L6T2T&pNodes=5U3R1S:4B2U3M

to

http://bknewit-develop/kb20/KnowledgebaseCategory57.aspx

the second is probably a lot harder obviously.  was just wondering.

Thanks.

The Prophet

Hey Prophet,

Hope your well. We will with the final version offer legacy redirects out the box. It's spmething we didn't manage to squeeze into this update.

Luckily what you require is very simple. Open up the URLRewrite.config file within note pad or similar ascii editor and added the following rules...

<Rule Value="~/article.aspx?id=([0-9]+)">~/KnowledgebaseArticle.aspx?ArticleID=$1</Rule>
<Rule Value="~/(.*)?cNode=1L6T2T(.*)">~/KnowledgebaseCategory57.aspx</Rule>

I've not tested that second one but it should be ok. Keep me posted,


Kindest Regards,

Feature request on any further releases:

Can the SMTP password (in the whole settings for the KB) be masked out in the application please and not show the actual password.

 

Hi Rob. 

I'm not sure why they would have left it unmasked.  But assuming masking it causing no problems here is how you can do it (will take about 2 mins to complete)

 

1) find and open: ..\InstantKB20\Skins\Classic\Admin\Controls\adminsettingsemailsmtp.ascx

  1. 2) Goto line 67. It should look like:
  2. <InstantASP:TextBox CssClass="FormInputText" id="txtSMTPPassword" runat="Server"/>

3) add "TextMode="Password" " to the line. ie it should now look like:

<InstantASP:TextBox CssClass="FormInputText" TextMode="Password" id="txtSMTPPassword" runat="Server"/>

4) Save the file.

IT should all work find now.

 

Regards

The Prophet

Will change to this work like this out the box.

No panic Ryan, I'm "testing" the upgrade on another computer I built up, it's not live so no harm done in any of this and no panic to get any scripts to alter anything.

Might make more sense to you to see the "demo" categories we're talking about

I masked 2 out which are not "demo" ones which I am unsure where these are from (but related to the company I work for)

New one - in the staff and admin CP there's a InstantKB.Net tab looking thing (below the welcome username link) it seems to be hard coded to instantkb20, I don't think it would take much changing but since you got other changes to make

Hi Rob,  Yes those are the Demo Categories from 1.3 that I mentioned in my previous post.  The delete function doesn't work properly and it leaves a records in the database. If you have a copy of your 1.3 DB somewhere have a look through the main categories table.  The upgrade script is pulling these across as well.

This also happens for any other categories that you deleted in the past.

 

Regards

The Prophet

The First Rule I worked out the other day and tried, but for some reason it doesn't want to work.

As for the second, It looks like it should work, but only for 1 category, and as I have about 500+ categories, I don't really want to add each one too the URLRewrite file. Note: while it looks like it should work, just like the first rule it too doesn't work at all.

 

Regards

The Prophet

This is only semi hard coded.  You can change it here:

\InstantKB20\Configuration\apps.config

Just open that file in a text editor.
