Custom catalog routing

Vote:
 

I'm trying to create some custom routing for the commerce catalog.
I would like all variations to have the following url structure, regardles of where they are in the catalog:

https://sitename/products/variationcode

The products page is the route starting point for the catalog.

To do this I created a custom HierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter:

    public class CustomHierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter : HierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter
    {
        public CustomHierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter(Func routeStartingPoint, CatalogContentBase commerceRoot, bool enableOutgoingSeoUri)
            :base(routeStartingPoint, commerceRoot, enableOutgoingSeoUri)
        {
        }

        public override PartialRouteData GetPartialVirtualPath(CatalogContentBase content, string language, RouteValueDictionary routeValues, RequestContext requestContext)
        {
            var variation = content as VariationContent;
            if (variation == null)
                return base.GetPartialVirtualPath(content, language, routeValues, requestContext);

            return new PartialRouteData
            {
                BasePathRoot = RouteStartingPoint,
                PartialVirtualPath = HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode(variation.Code)
            };
        }

        public override object RoutePartial(PageData content, SegmentContext segmentContext)
        {
            if (!content.ContentLink.CompareToIgnoreWorkID(RouteStartingPoint))
                return base.RoutePartial(content, segmentContext);
            SegmentPair nextValue = segmentContext.GetNextValue(segmentContext.RemainingPath);
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(nextValue.Next))
                return null;
            CultureInfo cultureInfo = string.IsNullOrEmpty(segmentContext.Language) ? ContentLanguage.PreferredCulture : CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(segmentContext.Language);
            CatalogContentBase contentByCode = GetContentByCode(CommerceRoot, nextValue, cultureInfo);
            if (contentByCode != null)
                segmentContext.RoutedContentLink = contentByCode.ContentLink;

            return contentByCode;
        }

        protected CatalogContentBase GetContentByCode(CatalogContentBase catalogContent, SegmentPair segmentPair, CultureInfo cultureInfo)
        {
            var referenceConverter = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance();

            var code = segmentPair.Next;
            var variantLink = referenceConverter.GetContentLink(code);

            var repo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance();
            var variant = repo.Get(variantLink, cultureInfo);
            return variant;
       }

    }

The catalog partial router is registered in an initialization module

var hierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter = new CustomHierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter(() => productPage, catalogRoot, false);
RouteTable.Routes.RegisterPartialRouter(hierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter);

The GetPartialVirtualPath method correctly creates the outgoing Url, and the RoutePartial method also finds the correct variation in the catalog.

However I keep getting a 404 when I do a request on https://sitename/products/variationcode

What am I missing here? Any help is very much appreciated.

Is there default commerce hierarchical router registered in routes table?

Hi Valdis,

No there is no default commerce hierachical router registered. 

Only this one.

var hierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter = new CustomHierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter(() => productPage, catalogRoot, false);
RouteTable.Routes.RegisterPartialRouter(hierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter);

Hi Jeroen and Quan Mai

I am struglling to make it work but its not working for me. Always get a 404 at all

I would have a seo-friendly url with custom segment

for instance:

Orl Url of product: www.domain/niteco/123-furnishings/12320-curtains/1232005-licensednon-branded/123200525-xx-pencil-pleats/vanguard-marco-pencil-pleat-curtains-pair/?variant=a_498676

new url should be www.domain/product/{plu}/{product-name}/?variant=a_498676 (www.domain/product/498676/vanguard-marco-pencil-pleat-curtains-pair/?variant=a_498676)

here is my code

 

public class CustomHierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter : HierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter
 {
     private readonly string CustomRouteSegment = "product/{0}/{1}";
     public CustomHierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter(
     Func<ContentReference> routeStartingPoint,
     CatalogContentBase commerceRoot,
     bool enableOutgoingSeoUri,
     IContentLoader contentLoader,
     IRelationRepository relationRepository) : base(
     routeStartingPoint,
     commerceRoot,
     enableOutgoingSeoUri)
    {
        _contentLoader = contentLoader;
        _relationRepository = relationRepository;
     }


    public override PartialRouteData GetPartialVirtualPath(CatalogContentBase content, string language, RouteValueDictionary routeValues, RequestContext requestContext)
    {
         var product = content as BaseProduct;

         if (product == null) return base.GetPartialVirtualPath(content, language, routeValues, requestContext);
         return new PartialRouteData
         {
             BasePathRoot = RouteStartingPoint,
             PartialVirtualPath =string.Format(CustomRouteSegment, product.PLU, product.Name)
         };
     }

     public override object RoutePartial(PageData content, SegmentContext segmentContext)
    {
        if (!content.ContentLink.CompareToIgnoreWorkID(RouteStartingPoint))
           return base.RoutePartial(content, segmentContext);
           var routed = base.RoutePartial(content, segmentContext);
           var product = routed as FashionProduct;

           segmentContext.RoutedContentLink = product.ContentLink;
           segmentContext.RemainingPath = string.Empty;
           segmentContext.RoutedObject = product;
           return product;
     }

     protected override bool IsValidRoutedContent(CatalogContentBase content)
    {
        //To forbid hierarchical variation url structure:
       if (content is ProductContent) return false;

       return base.IsValidRoutedContent(content);
    }
}
protected override void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{

    var segment = new ParameterSegment("product");
    var routingParameters = new MapContentRouteParameters()
    {
        SegmentMappings = new Dictionary<string, ISegment>()
    };
   routingParameters.SegmentMappings.Add("product", 
   segment);
   RouteTable.Routes.MapContentRoute(
   "product_node",
   "{language}/product/{plu}/{name}/{action}",
   new
   {
       controller = "Product",
       action = "Index",
       language = UrlParameter.Optional,
   },
   routingParameters);
}

Hi Thang

Here is the solution I've used in my project. The pattern of product SEO URL is https://domain/product/product-name/product-code

using EPiServer.Commerce.Catalog.ContentTypes;
using EPiServer.Core;
using EPiServer.ServiceLocation;
using EPiServer.Web.Routing;
using EPiServer.Web.Routing.Segments;
using Mediachase.Commerce.Catalog;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Routing;

namespace EPiServer.Commerce.Routing
{
    public class ProductRouter : HierarchicalCatalogPartialRouter
    {
        protected readonly IContentLoader contentLoader;

        protected readonly ReferenceConverter referenceConverter;

        public ProductRouter(Func<ContentReference> routeStartingPoint, CatalogContentBase commerceRoot, bool enableOutgoingSeoUri) :
            base(routeStartingPoint, commerceRoot, enableOutgoingSeoUri)
        {
            this.contentLoader = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentLoader>();
            this.referenceConverter = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ReferenceConverter>();
        }

        public override PartialRouteData GetPartialVirtualPath(CatalogContentBase content, string language, RouteValueDictionary routeValues, RequestContext requestContext)
        {
            var product = content as ProductContent;
            if (product == null)
            {
                return base.GetPartialVirtualPath(content, language, routeValues, requestContext);
            }

            return new PartialRouteData
            {
                BasePathRoot = RouteStartingPoint,
                PartialVirtualPath = $"product/{product.Name.Replace(' ', '-')}/{HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode(product.Code)}" // Should move to the ultility class
            };
        }

        protected override CatalogContentBase FindNextContentInSegmentPair(CatalogContentBase catalogContent, SegmentPair segmentPair, SegmentContext segmentContext, CultureInfo cultureInfo)
        {
            while (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(segmentPair.Next) )
            {
                if (catalogContent.ContentType == CatalogContentType.Root)
                {
                    var contentLink = referenceConverter.GetContentLink(segmentPair.Next, CatalogContentType.CatalogEntry);
                    if (!ContentReference.IsNullOrEmpty(contentLink))
                    {
                        return contentLoader.Get<ProductContent>(contentLink);
                    }
                }
                
                segmentPair = segmentContext.GetNextValue(segmentPair.Remaining);
            }

            segmentContext.RemainingPath = string.Empty;

            return null;
        }
    }
}

You should register the router in the initialization module.

RouteCollectionExtensions.RegisterPartialRouter<PageData, CatalogContentBase>(System.Web.Routing.RouteTable.Routes, new ProductRouter(() => SiteDefinition.Current.StartPage, commerceRootContent, false));

Hope this helps!

Hi Quan Mai,

I have applied your solution it seems work fine but when i try run the job EPiServer Find Content Indexing Job i get an exception and all product can't index
