Yes, workaround would be nice, could someone share his/her knowledge on this one ?

You create your own class file, inherit from EPiServer.WebControls.FriendlyUrlRegistration, override Render and make the desired changes. Unfortunatly most of the functionality in EPiServer.WebControls.FriendlyUrlRegistration is hidden as Private so you will have to write most of the code over again.
Use your own version FriendlyUrlRegistration in your Framework file instead of the EPiServer one.

Hi,
I've just quickly scan through your code. Does this mean that it is possible to "modify" the friendly URLs ?
e.g.
Currently EPiServer generates this Friendly URL:
http://localhost/en/Publications/General/News/
Therefore I want to get rid of /General/ in the URL
Thanks

This ONLY modifies the action attribute on the form tag. It only applies when posting a page.
If you want to do what I think you want it involves alot more steps. You need to handle the "shortend" url in a HttpModule before EPi does. You need to rewrite all links rendered on the site. I've done it on older versions of EPi and it's alot of work.

Link textWhen I hover over the links i get the following in the status bar: /templates/grouppage.aspx?id=229&epslanguage=EN&cs=01#colours and clicking the links has the desired effect. However when I change the id of the page on the demo siteLink textWhen I hover over the link what i get in the status bar is: /en/page1/page2/ and clicking on the link sends me to the desired page but without providing the desired querystring data Any ideas would be much appreciated
