How to override route in a plugin nopcommerce

Question

I've a route like Admin/Vendor in my MVC application . Without changing this route I need to point this same route to another method say CustomAdmin/CustomVendor.

I tried attribute routing but no luck . Is there any way to do this. My current code is given below

Original Method:

public class AdminController
{
   public ActionResult Vendor()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Custom Method:

public class CustomAdminController
{
    [Route("Admin/Vendor")]
    public ActionResult CustomVendor()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

@Div I'm new to nop is there any specif route provider file for nop admin — Optimus, Jan 10 '17 at 12:57
No worries, yes *(but not specific file for admin)* , plugin should have `RouteProvider`(which contains your plugin all routes) file. Please refer [How to write a nopCommerce plugin](http://docs.nopcommerce.com/display/en/How+to+write+a+nopCommerce+plugin). In RouteProvider.cs file you can override a route. — Divyang Desai, Jan 10 '17 at 13:03
I could not find `AdminController` and `Vendor` in nop defaults, where it's located — Divyang Desai, Jan 10 '17 at 17:35
@div The code I provided is sample code. What I want is, When user clicks on the customer search tab I need to re route it to my custom controller — Optimus, Jan 12 '17 at 09:35
Okay, you've mentioned, for admin route in the question, so I've added for admin route. let me know if you want to search then i will be add for the same :) — Divyang Desai, Jan 12 '17 at 10:21

As you're developing a plugin. You have to add your custom route to the RouteProvider.

In default nopCommerce AdminController and Vendor doesn't exists, so I assume that you're trying to override vendor list method of admin.

Which looks like:

public partial class RouteProvider : IRouteProvider
{
    public void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    { 
        var route = routes.MapRoute("Plugin.GroupName.PluginName.CustomVendor",
                                     "Admin/Vendor/List",
                                      new { controller = "CustomAdminController", action = "CustomVendor", orderIds = UrlParameter.Optional, area = "Admin" },
                                      new[] { "Nop.Plugin.GroupName.PluginName.Controllers" });
        route.DataTokens.Add("area", "admin");
        routes.Remove(route);
        routes.Insert(0, route);
    }
    public int Priority
    {
        get
        {
            return 100; // route priority 
        }
    }
}

Side Note: GroupName and PluginName should be your plugin group name and plugin name.

Hope this helps !

On your plugin which class implements the interface IRouteProvider, you can easily override the route there. Likewise I have a class named RouteProvider in my plugin, So I have Implemented the abstract function RegisterRoutes and simply it can be overrided by

routes.MapRoute("Plugin.Promotion.Combo.SaveGeneralSettings",
                 "Admin/Vendor",
                 new { controller = "CustomAdmin", action = "CustomVendor", },
                 new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Promotion.Combo.Controllers" }
            );

Here Plugin.Promotion.Combo must be replaced by your plugin directory.And using SaveGeneralSettings or any things you want to use that will be your route url

did you write the portion of code inside the `RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)` function?? – Ananda G Jan 10 '17 at 13:27
yep. but still routing to the old controller action – Optimus Jan 10 '17 at 14:23
Directly hit on the address `Admin/Vendor` by typing through keyboard then let me know what happens without clicking via a link. – Ananda G Jan 11 '17 at 06:39
