umbraco my site pages can navigate on any other page, how to stop this?

Question

i have website developed by Umbraco. It's working good except one thing.

Suppose i have the following pages under the parent node content :

login - register - about-us

if i type in the browser www.mysite/login/register it normally respond with the register page, which is not make sense

i navigate to every page under any other page(which is so weird) and i don't know why. Is there any changes i need to make in my IIS or web.config?

Answer 1

Could you make sure that these pages have no Alternative urls in the Umbraco backend? it should be named umbracoUrlAlias or something similar.

Answer 2

If you have a template called "register" you can apply that template to any page simply by putting "register" at the end of you url, as in:

www.mysite/login/register

If there is in fact no node that exists called "register" which lives under "login", then the above url effectively becomes:

www.mysite/login/?alttemplate=register

This is expected and useful behavior as described in Why Umbraco Rocks - Alternate Templates.
