Availability/Upgradeability of Wildcard Module for Sitecore 8+

Question

I'm trying to get hold of a version of the Wildcard Module for Sitecore 8.1. Unfortunately the version on the Marketplace (https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/Wildcard_module.aspx) only goes up to v6.5.

Is there a version of the Wildcard Module that is updated for Sitecore 8 or above? or an alternative option to use for Wildcards with Sitecore 8+?

How can I use wildcards with Sitecore 8+?

I'm note sure why this has been closed as it is relevant to 8.1 and might be useful for others. — Adam Seabridge, Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 13:24
I agree, I actually need to implement the wildcard module in Sitecore 8.1, so I'm trying the suggested answer below. This isn't off-topic at all. — Ken McAndrew, Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 21:15
Ken - I think it's possible to vote to re-open this so please do so. — Adam Seabridge, Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 21:28

This one supports 8.0+ https://marketplace.sitecore.net/SearchResults#qr=helpfullcore - it works similar to the original Wildcard module, but doesn't use the rules engine to process the tokens.

Thanks Richard. In the mean time I've ended up implementing this using IIS url re-writes as I only needed to re-write a single url /offers/details?guid=1412252&feedname=London TO: /offers/details/London/1258944 I'm using a custom page template with a custom component to actually get the data in need from an Xml feed so this all works fine. If I do decide to go with a wildcard solution in future though then i'll be sure to look at this in more detail as it looks great.
