Using umbraco 6.1.6 and I have a surface controller called CommentSurface in there I have method AddLike. I call the method using ajax link code looks like
@Ajax.ActionLink(GetLikeLabel("Site.Pages.Product.Review.Likes", comment.Likes, umbraco),
"AddLike",
"CommentSurface",
new { commentId = comment.Id, like = true },
GetLIkeAjaxOptions(comment, umbraco, "true")
This renders link html that looks like
<a class="thumbs--up icon icon--15" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-failure="$('#likeResult-1254').html('<p>You have already liked this comment</p>')" data-ajax-loading="#loadingComments" data-ajax-method="GET" data-ajax-mode="after" data-ajax-success="(function(){likeSuccess('1254',true,'.comment--item');})();" data-ajax-update="#likeResult-1254" href="/umbraco/Surface/CommentSurface/AddLike?commentId=1254&like=True" id="like1254">Like</a>
This all works fine. The issue is on our live server we have url rules set up so that the umbraco backoffice cannot be hit so any url /umbraco will redirect to home page. What I am planning to do is add url rewrite in web.config so that i can make call like /somesite/Surface/CommentSurface/AddLike and that will resolve to /umbraco/Surface/CommentSurface/AddLike.
So the question is on a controller and method in controller is there any kind of attribute to create a different url so instead of
For it to be a surface / umbraco api controller, I don't think there is a way to get /umbraco out of the url. The only way I can think to do it is by using a bog standard controller / api controller, and registering your own route just like you would in a regular mvc app. The only down side is you wouldn't get access to any of the convenience methods in the controller (but then if you are accessing it via ajax, I don't think you'll need any of the "redirect to current page" type functions).
Actually, looking at how surface controllers are registered, you could replace /umbraco in the URL by changing the umbracoPath in the web.config. But I don't thing that will help you much, as you'd then need your rewrites to block that path for any url that isn't a surface controller / api controller aswell.
Alias ajaxlink to controller

I can get
/somesite/Surface/CommentSurface/AddLike
and use url rewrite to resolve to right place.

Hey Ismail,

Matt,
According to docs https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.ajax.ajaxoptions%28v=vs.118%29.aspx there is AjaxOptions object it has url parameter you can set that and in the rendered html you get data-ajax-url and it uses that. You still get href as the full umbraco url. So I am going to go with this time to do some url re writes ;-}
