Blog Post URL's

Hello All,

I am using Nop 3.10 and I wish to change the URL for each post. By default blog url is "mydomian.com/blog" and each post url is something like this "mydomain.com/myposttitle.

I am trying to use the following URL instead;

"mydomain.com/blog/myposttitle"

So far I have changed route on "GenericUrlRouteProvider.cs" file from;

routes.MapLocalizedRoute("BlogPost",
                            "{SeName}",
                            new { controller = "Blog", action = "BlogPost" },
                            new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

to;

routes.MapLocalizedRoute("BlogPost",
                            "blog/"+"{SeName}",
                            new { controller = "Blog", action = "BlogPost" },
                            new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

But this throws errors when I try to browse;
mydomain.com/blog/customer-service-client-service

The parameters dictionary contains a null entry for parameter 'blogPostId' of non-nullable type 'System.Int32' for method 'System.Web.Mvc.ActionResult BlogPost(Int32)' in 'Nop.Web.Controllers.BlogController'. An optional parameter must be a reference type, a nullable type, or be declared as an optional parameter.
Parameter name: parameters

I need to make some changes to "BlogController.cs" file but cannot figure out where.

Any help or advise will be much appreciated.

anyone ?

I know this is old, but we are looking to accomplish this as well.

Right now, blog posts URL are as follows website.com/name-of-blog-post

They would like it to be adjusted to website.com/blog/name-of-blog-post

We would also want the old URLS to redirect to the new ones.

Two changes need to occur. First, the change you made is valid. However, in the same file (GenericUrlRouteProvider.cs), you need to add the following snippet:

routes.MapGenericPathRoute("BlogPostUrl",
                           "blog/{generic_se_name}",
                           new {controller = "Common", action = "GenericUrl"},
                           new[] {"Nop.Web.Controllers"});

can you help how to redirect all old url to new one?
domain.com/blogposturl
should be redirect to
domain.com/blog/blogposturl
now there is duplicate url and both of them are available.

You can search the marketplace for a plugin

Yu can see other suggestions in prior posts (e.g. URL Redirection via web.config)

Thank you by the way but I meant a source code solution.

You can change the source code to register a new route variant:
Make changes in the Presentation\Nop.Web\Infrastructure\GenericUrlRoute Provider.cs:
endpointRouteBuilder. MapDynamic ControllerRoute<Slug Route Transformer> (pattern);
//add a new one endpointRouteBuilder. MapDynamicControllerRoute<SlugRoute Transformer> ($"blog/{{SeName}}");
//update the route record: endpointRouteBuilder. MapControllerRoute("BlogPost", $"blog/{{SeName}}",
new { controller = "Blog", action = "Blogpost"});
//@nopTeam

Thank you Sir for your quick reply.
I use 3.9 version, can you help me how to modify routes in this version?
I've added a section like this:

            routes.MapGenericPathRoute("BlogPostUrl",
                                       "blog/{generic_se_name}",
                                       new { controller = "Common", action = "GenericUrl" },
                                       new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

and also modifed blogpost route to: (as previous replies)

            routes.MapLocalizedRoute("BlogPost",
                            "blog/{SeName}",
                            new { controller = "Blog", action = "BlogPost" },
                            new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

Thank you in advance.
