    Custom Menu Item override route not using the umbraco/view/route

    This is very frustrating. So I'm trying to build a menu item, but I don't want that dumb slide out window. I need it to redirect to a new page. Which you can do using NavigateToRoute, however that stupid method adds "umbraco/views/" then cuts off the first part of my string I put in there as well.

    For Example

           var build = new MenuItem("Build", "Build");
       build.NavigateToRoute("/MySection/MySectionTree/Build");
       menu.Items.Add(build);

    The above will navigate to "/umbraco/views/MySectionTree/Build"

    That doesn't even make sense to me why it cuts off the first part. I need it to go to "umbraco/MySection/MySectionTree/Build"

    How does this method even work and has anyone got it to work properly.

    It gets the proper url if i comment out the navigateToRoute, but it goes in a slideout window. Any way to override that?

    Thanks

    The solution is: NavigateToRoute(string route) function. This onClick will open the route on a new window.

    Remember the route is composed by: /{PluginName}/{TreeAlias}/{MenuItemAlias}/{id}

    protected override MenuItemCollection GetMenuForNode(string id, FormDataCollection queryStrings)
{
    var menu = new MenuItemCollection();

    MenuItem createCategory = new MenuItem("createcategory", "Create Category");

    createCategory.AdditionalData.Add("ParentCategoryId", id);

    createCategory.NavigateToRoute("/Category/categoryTree/createcategory/" + id);

    createCategory.Icon = "add";

    menu.Items.Add(createCategory);

    return menu;
}
