I have an MVC4 aplications with my routes defined in the RouteConfig working ok, like this:
routes.MapRoute(
"LocalizedDefault", "{lang}/{homePage}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", pageCode = "home" },
new {lang = #"(en|es)", homePage = #"(home|inicio)"}
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Flowers",
"{lang}/{page}",
new {controller = "Plants", action = "Flowers", pageCode = "flowers"},
new {lang = #"(en|es)", page= #"(flowers|flores)"}
);
/* ... more routes ... */
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
as you can see every route has a parameter I need to change my languages (my business logic), the problem is that when I put the url without any parameters like http://www.mydomain.com, it loads my default page but I can't change the language because I don't have my page Parameter, then I change my routes:
routes.MapRoute(
"Flowers",
"{lang}/{page}",
new {controller = "Plants", action = "Flowers", pageCode = "flowers"},
new {lang = #"(en|es)", page= #"(flowers|flores)"}
);
/* ... more routes ... */
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{lang}/{page}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", pageCode = "home" },
new {lang = #"(en|es)", page = #"(home|inicio)"}
);
Now I have my site changing its language ok when call http://www.mydomain.com but the others routes don't work anymore (ex: http://www.mydomain.com/en/flowers)
Try with the default route and add a parameter to your url like this...
http://mydomain.com/?lang=es
Then on you Index action at your home controller...
public ActionResult Index(String? lang){
//do some stuff when lang != null
return View();
}

I simply wants to route a URL which is not in the MVC project.
Like
http://mysite.com/Parents/default.aspx?ID=xxx
TO
http://mysite.com/accounts/login
with the ID
I think something like this would work.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "Parents/default.aspx?ID={id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Accounts", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
If you want to redirect all .aspx pages to redirect at "accounts/login" then do like below
routes.MapRoute(
"Page",
"{name}.aspx",
new { controller = "Accounts", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
I am trying to write a rule to map a URL but so for I did not get the results I want. I have this rule so far:
routes.MapRoute(
"Search", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{product}/{page}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Search", product = UrlParameter.Optional, page = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
using this I can achieve this result so far:
localhost:8493/home/search/myproduct
localhost:8493/home/search/myproduct/2
but i want to do something like this:
localhost:8493/myproduct
so this will route to home/search/myproduct
I have tried the following but it didn't work:
routes.MapRoute(
"DirectSearch", // Route name
"{product}/{page}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Search", } // Parameter defaults
);
Is there a way to do this?
Add:
So Here i added the specific route to map to another action but it doesn't work:
routes.MapRoute(
"Tuna",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Tuna", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
You're close I think. This should work;
routes.MapRoute(
"Search", // Route name
"{product}/{page}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Search", product = UrlParameter.Optional, page = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
Just remember that the framework will read the route data from top to bottom and use the first one it finds that matches. So make sure the more specific routes are listed before the more general ones
Edit
Here's a link to a discussion on custom routing
I have an MVC3 site with 2 areas plus the common area. I also have a route specified for paginating lists of items. My Register_Routes method looks like so:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"Paginate", // Route name
"{controller}/Paginate/{itemsPerPage}/{pageNumber}/{searchString}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", itemsPerPage = SiteSettings.ItemsPerPage, pageNumber = 1, searchString = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
What I've noticed (and don't understand) is if I log out from my home page, the redirect from my login page looks like
http://localhost:62695/Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2fHome%2fPaginate
... and upon logging in, I end up on my home page, except with a URL of:
http://localhost:62695/Home/Paginate
I'm fairly certain at this point that I've screwed something up with the route map, but it seems right to me. What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
per suggestion, I changed my routes to look like this:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"Paginate", // Route name
"{controller}/Paginate/{itemsPerPage}/{pageNumber}/{searchString}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", searchString = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
... and the home index pages do indeed seem to work properly, but now the paginates don't:
return RedirectToAction("Paginate", new { itemsPerPage = SiteSettings.ItemsPerPage, pageNumber = 1, searchString = string.Empty });
in a Admin\HomeController yields the URL:
http://localhost:62695/Admin/Users/Paginate?itemsPerPage=25&pageNumber=1
so I'm still doing something wrong here.
UPDATE 2
OK, this is how I got it to work the way I wanted it to:
My RegisterRoutes method now looks like this:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
null,
"{area}/{controller}/Paginate/{itemsPerPage}/{pageNumber}/{searchString}", // URL with parameters
new {area = string.Empty, controller = "Home", action="Paginate", searchString = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{area}/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new {area = string.Empty, controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
... but this was not enough to fix the routing issues. Additionally to this, I needed to add the route to my area registrations. My AdminAreaRegistration looks like this:
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
null,
"Admin/{controller}/Paginate/{itemsPerPage}/{pageNumber}/{searchString}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Paginate", searchString = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
context.MapRoute(
"Admin_default",
"Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
This, in addition to changing to RedirectToRoute for my connections, made my URLs all pretty and working at the same time. All the answers helped to get to my goal, I +1'd everyone and chose the answer that got me closest to the path.
Routes are evaluated in the order they are registered. The redirects are being generated by the first route that you registered, especially since you declared default values for all of the segments. You might want to consider defining a more specific route
UPDATE
Use RedirectToRoute instead of RedirectToAction to get your desired URL generation
RedirectToRoute("Paginate", new { itemsPerPage = SiteSettings.ItemsPerPage, pageNumber = 1, searchString = string.Empty });
routes.MapRoute(null, // do not name your routes, it's a "magic string"
"{controller}/Paginate/{itemsPerPage}/{pageNumber}/{searchString}",
new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Index",
searchString = UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
// instead of RedirectToAction, try RedirectToRoute, and do not use the route name
return RedirectToRoute(new
{
controller = "Home",
area = "AreaName",
itemsPerPage = SiteSettings.ItemsPerPage,
pageNumber = 1,
searchString = string.Empty,
}
);
Well, the reason you return to the URL http://localhost:62695/Home/Paginate is because when you log in you return to the URL specified, namely the ?ReturnUrl=%2fHome%2fPaginate part of http://localhost:62695/Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2fHome%2fPaginate. Is that not the URL of your home page? You never specified.
It could be that the first definition takes precedence also, not sure where I heard that, so maybe if you put the default definition first it will grab that.
I've got some routing issues with MVC 2. Might be a simple problem, but I can't make it run. I have registered a second routing including the language:
routes.MapRoute(
// Route name
"LangRouting",
// URL with parameters
"{currentLang}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
// Parameter defaults
new { currentLang = "de", controller = "Home", action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
// Route name
"Default",
// URL with parameters
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
// Parameter defaults
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index"}
);
Now when I call {...}/de/Home/Index/ everything works fine. But if I leave the language away and call {...}/Home/Index/, the page can't be found ("The resource cannot be found."). I would have expected that this should run without language in the URL and that MVC would insert my default-value in there. How does it work else?
You must use constraint for language.
/Home/Index
will be translated into first rule as
lang = Home
controller = Index
action = Index (from defaults)
This should do the trick:
routes.MapRoute("Default with language", "{lang}/{controller}/{action}/{id}", new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional,
}, new { lang = "de|en" });
routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional,
lang = "en",
});
This is sort of a duplicate of Trouble setting a default controller in MVC 2 RC Area
But his answer doesn't satisfy me, because it doesn't work.
I have the following
/Areas/TestArea/Controllers/HelloController
/Areas/TestArea/Views/Hello/Index
/Controllers/HomeController
/Views/Home/Index
With the following routes:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default2", // Route name
"TestArea/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Hello", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
I added the second one to try and get http://servername/TestArea to work as if it were http://servername/TestArea/Hello but was met with no success. The basic http://servername/ works as intended.
So the question is: how do you return a default controller in an area?
Edit: I have uploaded a sample project to show what I mean: http://beginningasp.net/TestAsync.zip
Try to register Default2 route before the default route and set area=yourareaname in the default values
routes.MapRoute(
"Default2", // Route name
"TestArea/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Hello", action = "Index",area="TestArea", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
