Friendly Link in Item Type Link

Hello, I have an Item Type that is of type Link and I am developing a SPA app using the DWAPI. We build the routes in the frontend by calling the backend and we use the friendly URLs to navigate. However the data that I receive in the Link item type is just the unfriendly DW link (Default.aspx?Id=10652). I am wondering if you could return the friendly URL as well?

Regards.

Hi Unnsteinn,

Shouldn't be much of a problem to make it respect the url settings. I'll take a look and see if we can add it, then post an update.

You can also take a look at the navigation endpoint which can return all pages and urls for a given website.

I.e. for website with id 1:

/dwapi/frontend/navigations/1?ExpandMode=All

We are creating item types and using the data from them to compose components in the front end, and one of those item types has a Link item and I want to be able to use the link path directly in the front end instead of having to use the page ID to call the API again and get the friendly url.

Yes - I misunderstood, sorry!

Martin has a solution, so we will make that part of an upcoming release!

I've changed the viewmodels such that we now check the sites settings to see if we use simple or friendly urls for the following:

Link on the page you mentioned

Links on items / item links

There might be more. Let me know if you find anything else or know of something that was missed.

Should be out in a Dynamicweb package pretty soon - once we've confirmed that I don't break more than I fix. :)

Hi Unnsteinn,

Sorry about the wait - we're doing a lot of changes in how the items work in the viewmodels, and I had to make sure that those work in the same way. And they do. But those wont be available before next release.

Anyway, your request is available in the package Dynamicweb 9.10.14

Let us know if you find any other things that we can improve.

I cannot find the 9.10.14 version, the latest version I can find to download is the 9.10.5 version.

It's not the full download that Martin is referring to but an individual package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Dynamicweb/

We are not using Nuget in this project so I will have to wait until it is available as a full download.

You can just download the package and unzip it - just rename the download from .nupkg to .zip. Inside is a dll and you can just copy that to /bin.
