    Route to other node when certain doctype is hit

    Extending Umbraco and using the API
    Umbraco 7

    Hi, Is it possible to change the routing when I go to a page of a certain document type?

    How would I do that?

    Edit* Or is it possible to change which node is the current model in my _layoyt.cshml file?

    Hi Tom

    You can use Custom controllers (Hijacking Umbraco Routes) - https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/routing/custom-controllers.

    You can add any logic you want to any doctype, before razor rendering.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Thanks Alex! That seems to be it!

    But when make another rendermodel in my new controller and return it with CurrentTemplate(_newModel) it still uses the wrong template. How do I get it to use the template the new model needs?

    Got it to work by changing the action thats called:

    ControllerContext.RouteData.Values["action"] = _model.Content.GetTemplateAlias();

    Thanks again, Alex!
