How do I define the parent page alias in the URL pattern field

Erick Valdivieso asked on April 24, 2019 17:59

Hello,

I am in the process of creating a page type for a thank you page, this page only gets visited after a form submission, but I have forms located on different pages and their URLs are different. Here are will give 4 examples:

Example #1:
- Form located on this pages: /resources/datasheets/[datasheet name]
- Their thank you page would be as fallow: /resources/datasheets/[datasheet name]/thank-you
- URL parrent: /resources/datasheets/{%NodeGUID%}/{%NodeAlias%}
Example #2:
- Form located on this pages:/resources/application-notes/[application note name]
- Their thank you page would be as fallow: /resources/application-notes/[application note name]/thank-you
- URL parrent: /resources/application-notes/{%NodeGUID%}/{%NodeAlias%}
Example #3:
- Form located on this page: /contact-us
- Their thank you page would be as fallow: /contact-us/thank-you
- URL pattern: /contact-us
Example #4:
- Form located on this page: /application-evaluation
- Their thank you page would be as fallow: /application-evaluation/thank-you
- URL pattern: /application-evaluation

I was envision that I could create 1 page type for the thank you page and properly define the URL patter.

Can you please provide suggestions, examples. Thank You.

Hi Erick,

You can use this macro, worked for me:

/{% Parent.NodeAlias |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

And in the MyCustomeTransformation method you can implement any logic you like. But do not forget that your custom macro assembly (or project) should be included in both CMS and MVC solutions.

Hi Dmitry Bastron, how would the rout in the RouteConfig.cs file for this thank you page look?

Can you provide a code snippet if possible.

Thanks

Thanks, I run into a couple of issues. I believe it had to do on how the controller was setup, but because I am with time constraint, I went ahead and just had all thank you pages render with the same URL structure:

As reference here is how my route looks:

routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Thank You",
                url: "form/{guid}/{pageAlias}",
                defaults: new { controller = "ThankYou", action = "Index" }
            );

Then here is how the URL pattern looks for the page type:

/form/{%NodeGUID%}/{%NodeAlias%}
