Hi Dynamicweb.
We a multisite setup using the custom URL setting “Ensure unique paths for each area”, where each site as a unique domain (See attachment). Since we have multiple pages named the same on each page, and we would like to avoid the -1 endfix, Dynamicweb provides if unchecked.
We also have setup each website to “Redirect first page to ‘/’” (See other attachment). However, this gives a problem in the sitemap generated by Dynamicweb. The Firstpage real URL is now “/” but in the sitemap it still using the URL generated by Dynamicweb, which uses the page name.
Let’s say our first page is called “frontpage” it then gets the URL by the Dynamicweb engine of “/frontpage”, but since we have the “Redirect first page to ‘/’”, the real URL is “/”. However the one in the sitemap says “/frontpage”.
The URL “/frontpage” redirects to “/”, the best SEO-wise is to have the correct URL in the sitemap.
We then tried to go the Page property and change both “Use in URL” and “Exact URL for this page” and set it to “/”, but then the URL engine generates a URL like this “/-1”, and then that is the one used in the sitemap. So is there any way to set the exact value of a page in the sitemap, so we can make sure that the real URL for our frontpage is correct?
