    Deploy custom controllers to Umbraco

    API Questions

    Hi,

    I have tried google and umbraco forums and end up reading countless blogs/posts but I could still not get the steps I need to deploy my custom controller. 

    I want to develop costom functionality in stnad alone mvc project and deploy it to an umbraco website. What I have tried so far is:

    1) Created MVC project and added a controller into it

    2) Added routes as OnApplicationStarted in global.asax.cs.

    3) Compiled and copied the DLL to umraco website's bin folder

    4) Copied Views to hte Views folder

     

    Now when i try go to my controller i.e. http:\\localhost\Test\Index, it gives me 404.

    What have I missed? 

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    For starters you need to ensure you exclude the route from being handled by umbraco by editing the web.config umbracoReservedUrls and adding your route.

    I can't remember if I've ever used a pure mvc controller though... i normally use surface controllers or you have the umbracoapicontroller (webapi) which allows umbraco to handle the routing for them. Give it a whirl with something basic once you have reserved the url.

    Does this help any?
