We are currently running into an issue with an Umbraco 8.17 Multi-Domain (2 domains) instance, when using a custom UrlProvider for one specific branch of Nodes of both domains. Our Umbraco instance and the domains are structured as follows:
- Homepage of Domain A (With Domain A)
-DomainACollection
-Blogs
-"A random blog here"
-News
-"A random news article here"
- Homepage of Domain B (With Domain B)
-DomainBCollection
-Blogs
-"A random blog here"
-News
-"A random news article here"
Using a combination of an Url Provider & Content Provider, we are removing the "DomainACollection" and "DomainBCollection" from the Urls, so we end up with a canonical friendly URLs of htps://domain-a.com/blogs/a-random-blog-here and htps://domain-b.com/blogs/a-random-blog-here.
Sadly though, Umbraco seems to be confused when determining the Urls for the second domain. Both domains have different Domain/Host URLs, but have the same Blogs folder. The AbsoluteUrl is different, but Umbraco doesn't allow the second domain /Blogs and /Blogs/* to be routeable, with a "This document is published but its URL would collide with content /Domain A/DomainACollection/Blogs", while only the relative Urls would collide, the absolute Urls wouldn't, seeing as they are both on different domains.
EDIT: Attaching a Debugger to the final line of the UrlProvider where I return an instance of UrlInfo() also shows that the final Urls are different, seeing as they are absolute URLs. These urls are "htps://domain-a.com/blogs/" and "htps://domain-b.com/blogs/", but the backoffice still determines them as Colliding.
Any help or nudge into the right direction would be much appreciated! :)
After posting my question, some other kind people from the community pointed me towards the Virtual Nodes package, which resolved exactly what I needed to do! No need to reinvent the wheel myself!
Custom IUrlProvider issues with same path on multi-domain

Hi Corne,
Can you share some code for the UrlProvider and content finders ? That would be helpful in troubleshooting.

Thank you anyway! 😄
