Umbraco

Hi all, in umbraco 12. 

Anyone know if its possible to remove specific template types from the page url?

What do you mean with template types?

For example you have /news/category/newsitem and you want to remove category from the pageurl?

You could potentially use a custom url provider for this in the outbound request pipeline https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/routing/request-pipeline/outbound-pipeline#custom-url-provider

In their example, the overriden GetUrl method should be what you are looking for - performing a check for the specific content type you want, and manipulating the URL to what you want it to be 👍

Unfortunately, just a custom URL provider is not enough. You would also need to implement a custom content finder and that is where the actual trouble starts, because now you need to traverse a significant portion of your content tree to check if your URL points to some content inside some other content.
