When using Dynamicweb.Frontend.SearchEngineFriendlyURLs.GetFriendlyUrl() it doesn't seem to do any conversion to a friendly url. But there is a crawler which makes the url friendly in href but i do have a need to be able to make friendly url manually.

<link class="alternative-url" href="@URL" hreflang="en" test1="@URL" rel="alternate">
Gives below result in frontend
<link class="alternative-url" href="/shop/watches" hreflang="en" test1="Default.aspx?ID=198" test2="Default.aspx?ID=196&groupid=SHOP1Watches" rel="alternate">

<link class="alternative-url" href="@URL" hreflang="en" test1="@Dynamicweb.Frontend.SearchEngineFriendlyURLs.GetFriendlyUrl(URL)" rel="alternate"> 
Gives below result in frontend
<link class="alternative-url" href="/shop/watches" hreflang="en" test1="Default.aspx?ID=198" test2="Default.aspx?ID=196&groupid=SHOP1Watches" rel="alternate">

Hi Keld

What version are you using? I stumpled into the same problem on v9.2.6. But then I tested on v9.2.9 and on that version SearchEngineFriendlyURLs.GetFriendlyUrl() correctly returns a userfriendly url insted of "Default.aspx?ID=[pageid]".

Hi Lars and Keld

This is a bug - if you call GetFriendlyUrl(string) it works with "Default.aspx?ID=123" and not with "Default.aspx?ID=123&GroupID=Group1".

I've registered this as TFS#33158 and made a fix already - will be out with the next hotfix.

A workaround is to call Frontend.Outputreplacer.ParseURL(string) instead - that should work.

After an upgrade to 9.2.12 it still doesn't seem to work, however something has changed. Before it just returned the same URL but not now it doesn't return anything.
