    Umbraco 6 MVC Alternate Templates

    Hi,

    I fooling around with Umbraco 6 and mvc, and I'm having trouble to make an alternate template. Is this possible with mvc umbraco?

    And another question, Is it possible to Create a controller that returns the content in json?

    Thx

    Berto

    Alt templates should work, but there are exceptions: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/37937-What-shall-we-do-with-AltTemplate

    You can create a surface controller and let that return json:

    Here's a quick example:

    public class JsonController : SurfaceController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult UpdateVariantAmount(int variantId, string amount)
        {
            //do stuff
    
            return Json("");
        }
    }
    $(".quotationAmount").keyup(function () {
    
        var variantId = $(this).closest("form").find("input[type=hidden]").val();
        var amount = $(this).val();
    
        $.ajax({
            url: '/umbraco/Surface/Json/UpdateVariantAmount',
            type: 'POST',
            dataType: 'json',
            data: '{ "variantId": ' + variantId + ', "amount": "' + amount + '" }',
            contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
            success: function (data) {
                //do stuff
            }
        });
    
    });

    Don't forget to add the url to umbracoReservedUrls in the web.config: ,~/umbraco/Surface/Json/UpdateVariantAmount

    Hi Jeroen,

    From my experiences, alt templates aren't working, but I will confirm it.

    I think that i was trying to do was to have a controller that returnet the content in json, something on the likes of this:

    http://www.umbraco6.com/mysuperpage --> Returns an html page

    http://www.umbraco6.com/mysuperpage/json -->Returns the data of that page in Json

    Is this possible?

    It should if you add some custom routing: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/custom-routes

    Do we need to use MVCBridge in Umbraco 6 to add the view/controller in the template??

    No. Just do what it says here and it should work :-). http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/mvc/custom-controllers

    Thanks Joroen, Its awesome.. I guess if I want to add it as a partial view, I need to do the same as we do in MVC.

    I was cofused the way we adding macros and mvc view in the template, looks both have different ways now..!!
