Wayne,

Can you give a bit more context of what you are trying todo? It may that instead of a surfacecontroller you may need route hijacking? See https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Routing/custom-controllers-v7

Hi Ismail,

Thank you for your comment.

What I'm trying to do is creating a template page called manage in Umbraco with two toggle options of type bool.

When the user selects a bool option inside the manage page, the user clicks save and the page should reload, however when the page reloads the current values of the bool should be retrieved to check if the user has toggled some values already.

When the user goes to another page, such as "Sales", the sales page should get the bool values from the manage page before the sales page has loaded.

I was using a Surface Controller to achieve this, but the link you sent looks good to.

What's the difference between Surface controllers vs hijackings, do you have an example of when I use you a surface controller or hijacking?

Thanks,

Wayne

Interesting,

I've been looking into route hijacking, however for my model e.g

public class Manager : RenderModel
{

 public Manager(IPublishedContent content) : base(content)
    { }

public bool Toggle1 { get; set; }

public bool Toggle2 { get; set; }

public bool Toggle3 { get; set; }

and my controller method

public ActionResult SetManagerToggle(RenderModel model)
    {

        var model = new RenderModel()
        {
            Toggle1 = model.Toggle1,
            Toggle1 = model.Toggle2,
            Toggle3 = model.Toggle3,
        };

        return RedirectToAction("ManagePage", model);

    }

As seen in the below image I need to pass in two parameters, would you know how I would implement IPublishedContent and Culture info in my controller?

Thanks,

Wayne
