Custom Routing

[Kwena]

Hi,

i have a problem, i recently found a solution to add my custom routes into Sitefinity tables.
my route url is like this ("Catalogue/{category}").

My problem is now my main menu treats the "catalogue" as a sub category in the link e.g. i have a news menu item which is supposed to redirect me to www.domain.com/news, but instead i get here www.domain.com/Catalogue/news, and that doesn't exist.

is there a way to force sitefinity menu to resolve urls to read from root?

Thanks.

Hello,

The navigation control in Sitefinity reads from SitefinitySiteMap which is an extended SiteMap control and as the roue was modified now I suppose if this is happening for www.domain.com/news it will happen for all pages created under the root (they will have www.domain.com/Catalogue/url).
A temporary workaround can be to add the ~//Catalogue/url as additional url for news items.
If you can share with me the routing logic used to get the catalogue added to the route so I can get better idea or the routing.

Kind regards,

Hi Stanislav 

Thanks for the reply.

for now what i did was override the SiteMenu in C# and gave them absolute urls e.g. (smMainMenu.FindItemByText( "News" ).NavigateUrl = "//www.domain.com/news";)

but here is how i added my custom routing in the Global.asax.

Thanks

Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions.Bootstrapper.Initialized += new EventHandler<Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs>( Bootstrapper_Initialized );

void Bootstrapper_Initialized(object sender, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs args)
    {
        if (args.CommandName == "RegisterRoutes")
        {
             var routes = (System.Web.Routing.RouteCollection)args.Data;
 routes.Add( "RTCategory", new System.Web.Routing.Route( "catalogue/{category}", new CatalogueRouteHandler() ) );
 routes.Add( "RTProduct", new System.Web.Routing.Route( "catalogue/{category}/{product}", new CatalogueRouteHandler() ) );
 routes.Add( "RTManufacturer", new System.Web.Routing.Route( "manufacturers/{manufacturer}", new CatalogueRouteHandler() ) );
	}
}
