    AltTemplate not working

    Templates, (partial) views and macros
    Umbraco 7

    Hi,

    http://whatever.ext/page?altTemplate=grid, nor http://whatever.ext/page/grid are working on my implementation of 7.5.11. 

    <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForTemplate"/>

    ... is set in the NotFoundHandlers in 404handlers.config ... and i do of course have a template called Grid.

    Do we know why the site doesn't render the template? I can't really find any references to the NotFoundHandlers-section. Should there be one in another config, or is it supposed to be included by magic?

    First, you need to ensure you have added the template via the Umbraco interface, so it exists in the developer tree. It will only render templates added this way.

    You should also check /config/umbracoSettings.config and look at element at the bottom that looks similar to this and check that disableAlternativeTemplates is false

          <web.routing
        trySkipIisCustomErrors="false"
        internalRedirectPreservesTemplate="false"
        disableAlternativeTemplates="false" 
        disableFindContentByIdPath="false"
        umbracoApplicationUrl="">
      </web.routing>

    You should also have:

      <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForAlias" />
  <notFound assembly="umbraco" type="SearchForTemplate" />

    in your 404handlers.config

    Excellent, the disableAlternativeTemplates-switch was my solution. For the record and future reference, I assume that you mean that the template should exist in the Settings tree, not Developer?

    Yes, sorry, I meant Settings (though I also think Developer section would be more appropriate, but that's another argument...)

    I am having the same issue - but the UmbracoSettings and 404handlers configs both have the proper options...

    This is an Umbraco Cloud v.7.6.3 install.

    I know the template is set up in "Settings" properly - if I add the template as an "allowed" one to the doctype and select it in the drop-down on the content node, it displays just fine.

    Hi Heather,

    Anything showing up in the logs when you make a request for the alt template. When the log level is set to DEBUG that should give some useful information.

    Hi David,

    I don't see anything in the log...

    I have this in web.config:

    <compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="true" batch="false"  targetFramework="4.5" numRecompilesBeforeAppRestart="50">

    Are you referring to some other setting for DEBUG?

    Hi Heather,

    I'm refering to the log4net.config file. There you can change the log level. If you set it to DEBUG ( I think default is INFO) it will log usefull info when you make a request.

    Thanks, David, found it :-)

    So... the additional results indicate that it recognizes that I am asking for the alttemplate, and it FINDS the template, and SAYS it is running with that template... but the browser does not display the alttemplate...

    So... not sure where to go from here, other than just assume I won't be able to use this feature in this site at least.

    Hi Heather,

    Looking at the log I think you are using a internal redirect ?

    Maybe you can check this setting in the umbracoSettings.config

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Config/umbracoSettings/#web-routing

    See if alt template are not disabled and that it preserves the template.

    Well, the content node doctype has the property to allow an internal redirect to be selected, but this particular node doe not have one assigned.

    The web routing was set to :

      <web.routing trySkipIisCustomErrors="true" internalRedirectPreservesTemplate="false" disableAlternativeTemplates="false" disableFindContentByIdPath="false" umbracoApplicationUrl=""></web.routing>

    so I updated to internalRedirectPreservesTemplate="true" :

      <web.routing trySkipIisCustomErrors="true" internalRedirectPreservesTemplate="true" disableAlternativeTemplates="false" disableFindContentByIdPath="false" umbracoApplicationUrl=""></web.routing>

    But the result in the browser is the same and the log appears the same as well.
