overwrite route of the polls

Hi All,

from a custom plugin i would like to overwrite the routes of the default polls.
succeeded for the admin side, but cannot do it for the public pages.
Mostly I'm interested for the home page and left column partials.
A bit of help would be nice

for example this didn't worked for the left columns:

var route5 = routes.MapRoute("Plugin.Misc.Polls.CategoryPagePoll",
                "Poll/PollBlock",
                new { controller = "Polls", action = "CategoryPagePoll", area = "" },
                new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Misc.Polls.Controllers" });

            routes.Remove(route5);
            routes.Insert(0, route5);

Thanks!

Which route you want to override ? I think there is no route existing  like "Poll/PollBlock" ..make sure it

could be that there is no route.

i would like to override the Polls partial (controller and action) of the homepage, and of the left side column.
http://docs.nopcommerce.com/display/en/Polls

it's called like
@Html.Action("PollBlock", "Poll", new {systemKeyword = "LeftColumnPoll"})

so probably that is why a route isn't working for me.
is there a way?

See it is ChildAction ==>

 [ChildActionOnly]
        public virtual ActionResult PollBlock(string systemKeyword)
        {
            if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(systemKeyword))
                return Content("");

            var model = _pollModelFactory.PreparePollModelBySystemName(systemKeyword);
            if (model == null)
                return Content("");

            return PartialView(model);
        }

Note: you can write your Action in your plugin then can call directly from views but not it is good way i think.

You can override _pollModelFactory.PreparePollModelBySystemName(systemKeyword) from plugin.

Thanks!.
i have v3.8
what i did is that i have overwritten the GetPollBySystemKeyword from the pollservice.
this did the trick for me.
