MvcSiteMapProvider Sitemap.xml endpoint breaks with custom route - mvcsitemapprovider

I have a custom route to simplify the url and only use the home controller implicitly, but by doing so I can no longer access my sitemap.xml form the default endpoint, how could I fix this?
'routes.MapRoute(
' name:="OmitController",
' url:="{action}/{id}",
' defaults:=New With {.controller = "Home", .action = "Index", .id = UrlParameter.Optional}
')

Nevermidn I looked at the source code and saw that the default route for the sitemap.xml is calling the XmlSiteMap and the Index action so I added this
routes.MapRoute(
"sitemap",
"sitemap.xml",
New With {.controller = "XmlSiteMap", .action = "Index"}
)
and it works now

BeginForm and AttributeRouting [duplicate]

I'm creating a form for a DropDown like this:
#{
Html.BeginForm("View", "Stations", FormMethod.Get);
}
#Html.DropDownList("id", new SelectList(ViewBag.Stations, "Id", "Name"), new { onchange = "this.form.submit();" })
#{
Html.EndForm();
}
If I choose a value from my dropdown I get redirected to the correct controller but the URL is not as I would like to have it:
/Stations/View?id=f2cecc62-7c8c-498d-b6b6-60d48a862c1c
What I want is:
/Stations/View/f2cecc62-7c8c-498d-b6b6-60d48a862c1c
So how do I get the id= querystring parameter replaced by the more simple URL Scheme I want?
A form with FormMethod.Get will always post back the values of its form controls as query string values. A browser cannot generate a url based on your route configurations because they are server side code.
If you really wanted to generate /Stations/View/f2cecc62-7c8c-498d-b6b6-60d48a862c1c, then you could use javascript/jquery to build your own url and redirect
#using (Html.BeginForm("View", "Stations", FormMethod.Get))
{
#Html.DropDownList("id", new SelectList(ViewBag.Stations, "Id", "Name"))
}
var baseUrl = '#Url.Action("View", "Stations")';
$('#id').change(function() {
location.href = baseUrl + '/' $(this).val();
});
Side note: Submitting on the .change() event is not expected behavior and is confusing to a user. Recommend you add a button to let the user make their selection, check it and then submit the form (handle the button's .click() event rather that the dropdownlist's .change() event)
Remove "id"
from
#Html.DropDownList("id", new SelectList(ViewBag.Stations, "Id", "Name"), new { onchange = "this.form.submit();" })

Route map in JSF

Im building a site with JSF and i need to have the following urls:
www.---.com/domain1/page.jsf
www.---.com/domain2/page.jsf
...
www.---.com/domainN/page.jsf
In ASP.NET i was able to do that this way:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{domain}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
I have tried using http://www.ocpsoft.org/rewrite/ like this:
.addRule(Join.path("/{domain}/clients/{page}").to("/clients/{page}.jsf"));
but the effect its not the same.
For example when redirecting to another page inside a beans method with:
return "page?faces-redirect=true";
the url generated by that does not contain the domain part. I cant also get the domain part from the request url because its not there.
How else can i achieve this?
Thanks

MVC5 Rewriting Routing Attribute - Default page

I am attempting to switch from RouteConfig to Routing Attributes.
I am following along the Pro ASP.NET MVC 5 book from Adam Freeman and I'm trying to convert the following code that handles the paging of clients.
routes.MapRoute(
name: null,
url: "{controller}/Page{page}",
defaults: new { action = "Index", status = (string)null },
constraints: new { page = #"\d+" }
);
This works great! As I go to different URLs, the links look very nice
http://localhost:65534/Client - Default page
http://localhost:65534/Client/Page2 - Second page
Now I've decided to try out Url Attributes and having a bit of problems when it comes to how 'pretty' the links are. All of the links are working fine, but it's the 'routing rewriting' that I am trying to fix.
Here are the important parts of my controller.
[RoutePrefix("Client")]
[Route("{action=index}/{id:int?}")]
public class ClientController : Controller {
[Route("Page{page:int?}")]
public ActionResult Index(string sortOrder, string search = null, int page = 1) {
With the attribute above the Index, going to /Client or to /Client/Page gives me a 404.
Adding a blank route to catch the default page
[Route("Page{page:int?}")]
[Route]
Works for /Client and /Client/Page3, but now the rewriting of the URL is messed up. Clicking on page 3 of the pager gives me a URL of
http://localhost:65534/Client?page=3
which is not what I want. Changing the routing to
[Route("Page{page:int?}")]
[Route("{page=1:int?}")]
Works almost 100%, but the default link for /Client is now
http://localhost:65534/Client/Page
So, I am now asking for help. How can I correctly convert the original MapRoute to the attributes?
Just use:
[Route("", Order = 1)]
[Route("Page{page:int}", Order = 2)]
UPDATE
Plainly and simply, the routing framework is dumb. It doesn't make decisions about which route is the most appropriate, it merely finds a matching route and returns. If you do something like:
Url.Action("Index", "Client", new { page = 1 })
You're expecting the generated URL to be /Client/Page1, but since you have a route where page is essentially optional, it always will choose that route and append anything it can't stuff into the URL as a querystring, i.e. /Client?page=1. The only way to get around this is to actually name the route you want and use that named route to generate the URL. For example:
[Route("", Order = 1)]
[Route("Page{page:int}", Name = "ClientWithPage", Order = 2)]
And then:
Url.RouteUrl("ClientWithPage", new { page = 1 })
Then, you'll get the route you expect because you're directly referencing it.
UPDATE #2
I'm not sure what you mean by "go into PagedList.MVC and add a name property to it". It doesn't require any core changes to the code because PagedList already has support for custom page links. Just change your pager code to something like:
#Html.PagedListPager((IPagedList)ViewBag.OnePageOfItems, page => Url.RouteUrl("ClientWithPage", new { page = page }))
And you'll get the URL style you want. Attribute routing can be a bit more finicky than traditional routing, but I'd hardly call it useless. It's far more flexible than traditional routing, but that flexibility has some costs.

MVC 5 AttributeRouting Catch All

How do I create a catch all route with the new Attribute routing in MVC
I tried this:
[Route("{pagenode}", Order = 999)]
But when I have a named route like
[Route("contact"]
I get the "Multiple controller types were found that match the URL. This can happen if attribute routes on multiple controllers match the requested URL." error.
This can be done with Attribute Routing if the first "directory" in the path is fixed.
For example, to match anything that hits /questions or /questions/4 or /questions/answers/42 then you would use [Route("questions/{*catchall}"].
You can't do this with Attribute routing, do this the MVC4 way:
Map a route in your routemapper like this:
routes.MapRoute("RouteName","{*url}",new { controller = "YourFancyController", action = "YourAction" });
This will be your catch-all Route.
If you would like to map all the routes to their controller you can do this:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
}
The ability to do this must have changed.
In my default controller, still called 'Home' I have one result method which I want executed for an unrecognised URL structure. The routing attribute is: [Route("{*catchall}")]. This is successfully executed for any old thing.
I have a second method which is always successfully executed based on its route (and I've thrown a few route 'styles' at it to see if it always works). I can only assume that the framework always registers the catch-all route last as this is the behaviour I'm seeing.
This is also a brand new, not configured (except for nuGet packages) MVC 5 project excepting that my methods have been changed to return JsonResult (not even doing their job yet but returning little anonymously typed objects). The catch-all for example returns: Json(new { Message = "Invalid Request" }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet). Yes, yes I set the StatusCode first etc etc, this isn't about MY project ;).
I'm sure I haven't left anything out since there's so little to it but if any clarification is wanted I'll see about adding it.

Codeigniter url rewrite issue when using pagination

I am learning codeigniter these days. I have done a website for my own use a couple of days ago where i have just applied pagination today but it seems there is problem with my url rewriting.
Here is my action inside my controller which grabs list of authors in a category
`public function index() {
$data['main_content'] = "templates/public/audio/author_view";
$data['authors'] = $this->author_model->get_authors();
$this->load->view("templates/public/template",$data);
}`
Here is my function that grabs value from db located inside my author model
`public function get_authors($type = 0) {
$this->db->select("author.name,author.image,author.slug");
$this->db->from("author");
$this->db->join("album","author.id = album.author_id");
$this->db->where("album.mime_type",$type);
$this->db->group_by("author.name");
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result();
}`
When i clicked on one of author grabbed it open all albums of selected author. then url looks link www.xyz.com/audio/album-nameHere is my code for this route.
$route['audio/(:any)'] = "audio/view_author_album";
At this stage it works fine. But now today when i applied pagination i found that this route will not do more work for me. I have added pagination in my index action Below you can see my code
public function index() {
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/mywebsite/audio/index/";
$config['total_rows'] = $this->author_model->get_total_rows();
$config['per_page'] = 1;
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$data['main_content'] = "templates/public/audio/author_view";
$data['authors'] = $this->author_model->get_authors($config['per_page'], $this->uri->segment(3));
$this->load->view("templates/public/template",$data);
}
This open the details http://localhost/mysite/audio/index/2
against this url my route rule $route['audio/(:any)/(:any)'] = "audio/view_album_details"; works. It should grab the next page instead of my detail view. And url should be something like http://localhost/mysite/audio/2
I also tried $route['audio/(:num)'] = "audio/;
I will highly appropriate if anyone can help me in solving this problem.
i encounter the same issue and i solve it by using two same router
$route['a-b-c/([a-z0-9-]+)/([0-9]*)'] = "product/category/$1";
$route['a-b-c/([a-z0-9-]+)'] = "product/category/";
