    Question on hijacking routes

    Hi,

    when you hijack a route, instead of returning the original view, is it possible to return a different view if a parameter is passed into the extended RenderMvcController?

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Damon

    Yes, so if you are using CurrentTemplate

    return CurrentTemplate(model);

    This will return the View the original node is based on, but as this is MVC you can just return using View eg:

    return View("MyOtherView", model);

    so

    public ActionResult Index(RenderModel model, int SomeParameter = 1)
{
    var customModel = new CustomModel(model.Content, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
 if (someParameter == 1){
     return View("MyOtherView", customModel);
} else {
    return CurrentTemplate(customModel);
    }    
}

    You can also cause an umbraco node to load an alternative template using ?altTemplate=templateAlias on the querystring

    and you can create an ActionResult that matches the template alias to hijack the alternative template route.
