Question

currently my website has around 40 main categories & around 250 sub categories and around 10K products.

my current url is like this….

site.com/1/electroncis (main category)
site.com/2/Headphones ( electronics > headphones)

—-now there are many parent and sub categories

what I want to do is following…

site.com/electroncis (main category)
site.com/electroncis/headphones (main > sub)

I have ID‘s in url’s so in my code i can grab the categoryID and return those matching products, my tables perform lookups using CategoryID (not the category name).
to accomplish what i want…do I need to create over 500 static rules within my web.config file? there has to be a better way of doing it.

Thanks

Answer 1

I dont really think its possible. clostest solution I came up with is to create rewriteMaps with key/value pairs

<add key="cars" value="page.asp?v=1" />
<add key="car/suvs" value="page.asp?v=2" />

I can generate above tags using .NET and paste them into a .config file.
