Get simple address for page

I want to get the simple address for a given page. So far, I've come up with the code below, which obviously don't work. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

protected string SimpleAddress(PageData page)
{
    UrlBuilder ub = new UrlBuilder(page.LinkURL);
    EPiServer.Global.UrlRewriteProvider.ConvertToExternal(ub, page.PageLink, System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8);
    string url = ub.ToString();

    return url;
}

Seems I was pointed in the wrong direction before. Of course you can access the simple address through the propertyname "PageExternalUrl".

Howeve, the url looks like this:

http://localhost/templates/pages/sitemap

instead of:

http://localhost/sitemap

meaning the PageExternalUrl looks for the folder structure and then adds the simple url..

How can you solve this in an appropriate way?

Hi Martin!

I did a quick test and the PageExternalUrl property

string s = page["PageExternalUrl"]

and it returned the expected value, which in your case would be "sitemap".

So all you should need to do is something like the following to get an the complete url:

Configuration.Settings.Instance.SiteUrl.ToString() + page["PageExternalUrl"];

Martin, the reason for your inaccurate URL is that the simple address doesn't include a leading slash by default.
