URL routing

Hi guys!

Question for Nop 3.1
I want to build next URL for products:

"{CategoryName}/{SeName}"

So {CategoryName} is dynamically value.
I will use a separate controller and action (Not "Catalog" controller and not "Product" action).
How to implement it?

I have tried:

routes.MapLocalizedRoute("CategoryProduct",
      "{CategoryName}/{SeName}",
       new { controller = "MyController", action = "Product" },
       new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

But inside "GenericPathRoute.GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext)" RouteData object always null, so I can't get UrlRecord object.

Thanks!

Hi,

Found my mistake.
Need add something like this:

routes.MapGenericPathRoute("GenericEntityUrl",
          "{entity_name}/{generic_se_name}",
           new { controller = "MyController", action = "GenericUrl" },
           new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

Hi, I need to add the category name in my urls as well, such as mysite.com/categoryname/productname.

Can you explain a bit more details on how you accomplished this?

Thanks,
KT

I'm also trying to get the www.mysite.com/CategoryName/Product URL working.

After reading through this:
http://www.pronopcommerce.com/nopcommerce-id-less-url-structure-demystified-how-does-nopcommerce-270-and-280-resolve-urls


It's apparent that there's more to be done than just this:

routes.MapLocalizedRoute("CategoryProduct",
      "{CategoryName}/{SeName}",
       new { controller = "MyController", action = "Product" },
       new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

{CategoryName}/{Product} is the recommended URL format from Google for SEO best practices.  Has anyone else accomplished this in nop 3.1?  

Thanks in advance!

Perfect!  I've got the code hooked in and am going through and updating all of my product URLs.

Thanks!

Hi wooncherk,

I am trying to create a plugin which will override the TopicsDetails.cshtml page. I added a route like this:

          routes.MapRoute("Nop.Plugin.Other.CustomTopic.ViewCustomTopic", "{SeName}",
                            new { controller = "CustomTopic", action = "TopicDetails", SeName = UrlParameter.Optional },
                            new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Other.CustomTopic.Controllers" });

This is getting all the {SeName} to my CustomTopicController .Even the products SeName.


If I add this instead of the older one:

           routes.MapRoute("Nop.Plugin.Other.CustomTopic.ViewCustomTopic",
                            new { controller = "CustomTopic", action = "TopicDetails" },
                            new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Other.CustomTopic.Controllers" });

I get an error because the TopicDetails(int itemId) Action receives an integer which is not provided as we know that GenericPathRoutes.cs Provides that integer.

How can I override the Rules of GenericPathRoutes.cs to do it so that only the topic SeName would hit my Controller or is there other way to do that kind of work or is it even possible to do?

Hi there,

I need some help to understand the routing issue for the admin plugin controller.
I have developed a plugin which adds a custom tab to the product tab strip in the admin area.
While my tab loading I should receive the tab content from the controller by request.
I have tied a different urls to get to the controller, but I received 404 error (not found).
Should I change or create routing for my controller?
If yes, please, suggest me how to do it.

The controller name: ProductPricesTabController
The namespace: Nop.Plugin.Admin.ProductPricesTab.Controllers
The method in the controller class I want to reach: GetTabContent()

What url should I provide to the ajax method in order to received the tab content?

Thank you.
