Question

I am using N2CMS to manage the content of my site without using the page routing from N2. Hence when I edit a piece of content, it’s quite useless when N2 asks me: “Update links leading to…” “Add permanent redirect at previous URL?”. Can I disable this behaviour?

Answer 1

Converting Page into Part is inherently bad idea. It may be temporary fix for the problem you have, but it will bounce back at you in a bad way.

Instead, you can do this

• Turn LinkTracker off in web.config

  linkTracker enabled="false" permanentRedirectEnabled="false"
  

• Copy CommandFactory.cs from N2 Source into your solution, and rename it to MyCommandFactory.cs.
  Add Service replacement attribute

  [Service(typeof(ICommandFactory), Replaces = typeof(CommandFactory))]
  

In a constructor, change this line

updateReferences = new MyUpdateReferencesCommand();

• Write your own empty Update reference command class

  public class MyUpdateReferencesCommand : UpdateReferencesCommand
  {
      public override void Process(CommandContext state)
      {
      }
  }
