Hi Geralt,

You mentioned you created a new 3 parameter DeleteConfirmation extension. Do you have the code for it? I've come up against exactly the same problem!

Thanks alot

Hi Higgsy,

First off the plugin I was developing at the time and talking about here was for nop v2.20.

So what I did was create a new HtmlExtensions.cs file inside my plugin. In that class I copied the original MvcHtmlString DeleteConfirmation<T> over, and made the following 3 changes to it.

Instead of:

public static MvcHtmlString DeleteConfirmation<T>(this HtmlHelper<T> helper, string actionName, string buttonsSelector = null) where T : BaseNopEntityModel

I have:

public static MvcHtmlString DeleteConfirmation<T>(this HtmlHelper<T> helper, string actionName, string controllerName, string buttonsSelector = null) where T : BaseNopEntityModel

Instead of:

            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(actionName))
                actionName = "Delete";

I have:

            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(actionName))
                actionName = "Delete";
            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(controllerName))
                controllerName = helper.ViewContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("controller");

Then instead of:

ControllerName = helper.ViewContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("controller"),

I have:

ControllerName = controllerName,


Then I was able to call it with @Html.DeleteConfirmation("Delete", "Plugin/Dealer/Admin", "dealer-delete"), passing in the extra controller name that got it to work.

Perfect, thanks so much!

Hi all.
Do you have decision for version 3.4 or high?

Hi Guys,
As per above discussions, I rewrite my route to

I am building a plugin in 3.50.
I've added a new menu item, which appends under Plugins menu item by default.
var SubMenuItem = new SiteMapNode() 
{
        Title = "Manage",
        ControllerName = "CustomManager",
        ActionName = "List",
        Visible = true,
        RouteValues = new RouteValueDictionary() { { "area", null } },
};
and the routing defined is as
routes.MapRoute("Plugin.Custom.Manager.List",
       "Plugins/CustomManager/List",
        new { controller = "CustomManager", action = "List", area = "Admin" },
        new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Custom.Manager.Controllers" }
).DataTokens.Add("area", "Admin");

also tried routing with many ways like

routes.MapRoute("Plugin.Custom.Manager.List",
       "Admin/Plugins/CustomManager/List",
        new { controller = "CustomManager", action = "List", area = "Admin" },
        new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Custom.Manager.Controllers" }
).DataTokens.Add("area", "Admin");

routes.MapRoute("Plugin.Custom.Manager.List",
       "Admin/Plugins/CustomManager/Admin/List",
        new { controller = "CustomManager", action = "List", area = "Admin" },
        new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Custom.Manager.Controllers" }
).DataTokens.Add("area", "Admin");

I've created the List.cshtml under Views-> CustomManager -> List.cshtml & the controller is named as CustomManagerController.cs

I also added in  List.cshtml
@{
    Layout = "~/Administration/Views/Shared/_AdminLayout.cshtml";
}

But still the url in the browser's generates as http://localhost:15536/CustomManager/List
instead http://localhost:15536/Admin/CustomManager/List
and also once I select my menu item, then some of the link items lose the Admin/ prefix like 'Clear cache', 'Restart application'

Please help me, what I've missed!
