Friendly Media for Umbraco

Friendly Media is a powerful, editor-friendly tool for managing clean, consistent, human-readable media URLs in Umbraco.

It improves visibility, consistency, and SEO by giving you control over how media files are referenced โ€” without changing how Umbraco stores them.


โœจ Features

  • Auto-generated friendly URLs based on media names
  • Custom override URLs with validation and conflict checking
  • Duplicate detection and visual warnings
  • Smart filename change detection
  • CSV export for audits and content reviews
  • Deep media usage reporting across Block Lists, RTEs, and more (coming soon)
  • Dashboard and Media Content App UI for full visibility and control

๐Ÿ”ง How it works

Friendly Media doesn't alter your actual media file paths โ€” it maintains a mapping between Umbraco media items and clean, user-facing URLs that can be used in the front end.

This allows you to:

  • Keep URLs stable even if media filenames change
  • Assign readable slugs for better SEO
  • Avoid long, messy URLs with timestamps or GUIDs

๐Ÿš€ Getting Started

1. Install via NuGet

dotnet add package RivloTools.FriendlyMedia

2. Configure routing middleware in Program.cs

app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseFriendlyMediaMiddleware();

A valid licence file is required for production. A 14 day trial mode is available for evaluation.

๐Ÿ“ท Backoffice UI

Friendly Media adds a new dashboard to the Media section and a custom tab (content app) to each media item for managing URLs and warnings.

๐Ÿ’ผ Licensing

This package requires a valid RivloTools licence file to run in production.

Trial Mode: 14 day trial is automatically enabled on first install

Licensing: Per-domain with optional version-lock
