Hi Lee,

Lets say you've created your own custom route to:

/hello/world

and you are using UmbracoVirtualNodeByIdRouteHandler.

The reason you have to use UmbracoVirtualNodeByIdRouteHandler is because Umbraco has no idea what

/hello/world

actually is. This is the same exact reason that BeginUmbracoForm doesn't work - because you are operating 'outside' of Umbraco, you are really just using normal MVC. The UmbracoRouteHandler will not be executed (which processes BeginUmbracoForm) because your custom route is executing with your own route handler.

Since you are using normal MVC, then just use the normal MVC approach to creating forms: Html.BeginForm

Hello,

I'm using an html action to a surface controller on a page which is also using the UmbracoVirtualNodeByIdRouteHandler. When I try to use the CurrentPage property I get the following exception:

Cannot find the Umbraco route definition in the route values, the request must be made in the context of an Umbraco request

Is this the same problem?

Jeroen

Please post steps to reproduce, version number, etc...

IIRC CurrentPage should work, it will be equal to your virtual node that you've assigned the request.

Instead of CurrentPage this does work:

UmbracoContext.Current.PublishedContentRequest.PublishedContent

Jeroen

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a virtual route with UmbracoVirtualNodeByIdRouteHandler
2. Do a Html.Action to a surface controller in the view of that virtual route
3. Try to use CurrentPage in that surface controller

Umbraco 7.3-beta3

Please log an issue then if you can reproduce it and please include the logic for your child action and your route handler.

Here are other issues logged for virtual nodes, be sure that your's is not a duplicate or if there are any work arounds:
