    How to get content from the Url by custom route

    I'm trying to make a custom route to my CategoryItems, rather than using default routing (eg. /experiences/calgary-tower/) which can cause potential dublicates, I rather use custom routing (eg. /experiences/canada/alberta/calgary/calgary-tower/1247)

    I have two problems:

    1. The ActionResult 'CategoryitemRouted' in my controller, if I return the CurrentTemplate I get this error 'No physical template file was found for template CategoryitemRouted'. If I returns the view directly, I cannot inherit anything from my master template. So any of these solutions is'nt quite helpfull :|

    2. How do I get content passed to my Template through the model. I need at least the Id in order to display my content... :-)

    My files:

    //My Composer
    namespace Umbraco8.Project.Composers
    {
        public class RegisterCustomRouteComposer : IUserComposer
        {
            public void Compose(Composition composition)
            {
                composition.Components().Append<RegisterCustomRouteComponent>();
            }
        }
    }
    
    
    //My Component
    namespace Umbraco8.Project.Components
    {
        public class RegisterCustomRouteComponent : IComponent
        {
            public void Initialize()
            {
                RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute(
                    name: "Category Items Routed",
                    url: "{category}/{country}/{state}/{city}/{displayName}/{id}",
                    defaults: new {
                        controller = "Categoryitem",
                        action = "CategoryitemRouted",
                        state = UrlParameter.Optional
                    });
            }
    
            public void Terminate()
            {
                throw new NotImplementedException();
            }
        }
    }
    
    //My Controller
    namespace Umbraco8.Project.Controllers
    {
        public class CategoryitemController : RenderMvcController
        {
            public override ActionResult Index(ContentModel model)
            {
                return CurrentTemplate(model);
            }
    
            public ActionResult CategoryitemRouted(ContentModel model, int id)
            {
                return CurrentTemplate(model);
            //return View("~/views/CategoryitemRouted.cshtml", model);
            }
        }
    }

    Hi all, I managed so solve my own problem using this tutorial: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/routing/custom-routes and it now works as intended.

    My code:

    public class RegisterCustomRouteComponent : IComponent
    {
        private readonly IUmbracoContextFactory _context;
    
        public RegisterCustomRouteComponent(IUmbracoContextFactory context)
        {
            _context = context;
        }
    
        //Real World Example: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/routing/custom-routes
        public void Initialize()
        {
            using (var cref = _context.EnsureUmbracoContext())
            {
                IPublishedContentCache umbracoHelper = cref.UmbracoContext.Content;
                IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> categoryListing = umbracoHelper.GetByXPath("//categoryitem");
    
    
                foreach (var item in categoryListing)
                {
                    RouteTable.Routes.MapUmbracoRoute(
                    name: "CategoryItem-" + item.Id,
                    url: UrlHelpers.GetCategoryItemUrl(item.Id).TrimStart('/'),
                    new
                    {
                        controller = "Categoryitem",
                        action = "Categoryitem"
                    },
                    new CategoryitemHandler(item));
                }
            }
        }
    
        public void Terminate()
        {
            //throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }
    
    public class CategoryitemHandler : UmbracoVirtualNodeRouteHandler
    {
        private readonly IPublishedContent _node;
    
        public CategoryitemHandler(IPublishedContent node)
        {
            _node = node;
        }
    
        protected override IPublishedContent FindContent(RequestContext requestContext, UmbracoContext umbracoContext)
        {
            return _node;
        }
    }
    

    Though I'm facing a new challenge! - When I update a node, the changes does'nt show up when i view the page with a custom route, it's it is heavily cached. Any idea how to clear/bypass the cache when using custom routing...?
