Help with route rewrite in asp.net mvc
- by NachoF
Im having a really hard time understanding routing.
Please help me with this problem.
Each of my controllers have these three actions right now
Users have Index, Create and Edit
Locations have Index, Create and Edit
Companies have Index, Create and Edit
The thing is, it all gets done through ajax.
I have jquery ui tabs with two tabs for each, Create and Edit
So the Index method is always the one that gets called for action links.
and inside this main view is that you can call(by clicking on the tab icon) the other methods that return an ajax view that gets output into the jqeury tab (I hope thats clear)
I have a sidebar with links to the controllers. and to specific methods of these controllers. The wanted behavior is that it should actually go into the Index Method and then with some logic autoload the wanted tab.
It all works just fine right now. But my urls are horrible.
To get to the create method for Users I have to go this url
http://localhost/Users/Index/1
http://localhost/Users/Index/2
I want the behavior of these links to be remapped to these links
http://localhost/Users/Create
http://localhost/Users/Edit
So even though it seems as if you are calling the Create method of the controller you are actualling always calling the Index Method.... (I know how to transform Create into "1" and Edit into two, so dont worry about that part
Hope thats clear.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
Just realized that this might not be possible cause then when I actually need to call the methods (with ajax) it wont know what to do.... am I correct?
