For first issue i.e. remove date from blog post's  url,i followed these link

docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-change-url-format-for-modules-with-multiple-content-types

i created CustomBlogPostUrl.cs file :

    public class CustomBlogPostUrl : Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Blogs.Data.OpenAccessBlogProvider
   
        /// <summary>
        /// The URL format string for blog items
        /// </summary>
        public string BlogUrlFormat
       
            get;
            set;
       

        /// <summary>
        /// The URL format string for blog post items
        /// </summary>
        public string BlogPostUrlFormat
       
            get;
            set;
       
        public override string GetUrlFormat(Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ILocatable item)
       
            if (item.GetType() == typeof(Blog))
                return this.BlogUrlFormat;
            else if (item.GetType() == typeof(BlogPost))
                return this.BlogPostUrlFormat;
            else
                return base.GetUrlFormat(item);
       
        protected override void Initialize(string providerName, System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection config, Type managerType)
       
            base.Initialize(providerName, config, managerType);
            this.BlogUrlFormat = config["blogUrlFormat"];
            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(this.BlogUrlFormat))
           
                this.BlogUrlFormat = "/[UrlName]";
           
            this.BlogPostUrlFormat = config["blogPostUrlFormat"];
            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(this.BlogPostUrlFormat))
           
                this.BlogPostUrlFormat = "/[Parent.UrlName]/[UrlName]";
           
       

and try to create new custom provider but i dont know how to write "Provider Type" in settings as shown in img given below.

Plz suggest me .

Hi, 

In order to change the default generated urls you need to create and implement your own custom provider, as you already referenced.

The following KB article provides information and references the same blog post :

http://www.sitefinity.com/developer-network/knowledge-base/details/how-to-change-default-url-format-for-content-items

I have tried this successfully, please observe following screencast:
http://screencast.com/t/rMqClXi9nsL

You can verify and compare whether you have done similar.

Regarding the 2nd item you mention, it is not possible to use a querystring in the additional urls.

There is a Feature Request logged for this:

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.I did changes as shown in video but provider not get registered.dont know why?I attached a screenshot.Please see this. 

Hi,

The error indicates that the provided ProviderType is not correct.
(SitefinityWebApp.CustomProvider)

- Did you rebuild your project? 
- Is your custom provider class called: CustomProvider? 
- Is it located at the project's root?

Please check the above and adjust accordingly.

Hello sir,

I am working on staging site . i dont have local project .i did check above conditions and still giving same error.Thanks for ur support.

Please help me .

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You will have to rebuild the project for the newly created class to be picked up.
Otherwise, my previously provided screencast and documentation contain all the necessary info.
Should you continue to have problems implementing this I advice you to open a support ticket as it may be required to send us your project data or other detailed info in order to isolate the reason for this issue.
