hi, i have a clean test Umbraco 8 website.
i am trying to create page and SurfaceController but nothing happened.
in other site (umbraco 7) it usualy work.
my code:
Controller:
public class TestRedirectController : SurfaceController
{
// GET: TestRedirect
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
The first thing that stands out is you are calling a Post method via Http.Action which I don't believe is possible. Try taking the [HttpPost] attribute off of your action on your controller and see if that works.
Ok, so it looks like this isn't a problem with your surface controller now, I'd say it's an issue with your source url.
Because of how you've got things set up, it appears to me that you are trying to go to an existing page in the site, then when it comes to render the view for that page, hit your surface controller.
That error tells me that either the page you are trying to go to initially doesn't exist or it has no template set against it.
Things to check:
Does a page called TestRedirect exist in your Umbraco back office, and is it's url /testredirect?
That's fine from a template point of view, but you need a doc type and a page to exist in your content tree. It's not possible to route "just" to a view which I think is what you are currently trying to do.
What is your overall objective with this controller/Action?
