I have an Orchard cms module with some additional Content types set up and have added an AutoRoute component via code. Everything works perfectly, however I am not happy with the default permalink pattern.
What I am trying to do is add a custom pattern and use one of the public properties in my content type. In my case the custom type has a public property called ClubName and I would like that to be used (It makes more sense from a routing perspective).
The Orchard part class name is called TrackPart
.
I have tried {Content.TrackPart.ClubName}
, {Content.Track.ClubName}
, {ContentItem.TrackPart.ClubName}
,{Content.TrackPart.ClubName}
and various other variations but nothing seems to be working.
I am really new to Orchard so there is a high chance I am missing something simple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In response to feedback from @Bertrand-le-roy I created my own token by copying an example token. I can now get see the token in the drop down menu and select it. However the route pattern is still not working.
I can only assume that I have misunderstood the Evaluate() function's context.For
usage. It looks like I am not getting the data I need
Here is what I have so far.
public class TrackPartTokens : ITokenProvider {
private readonly IContentManager _contentManager;
public TrackPartTokens(IContentManager contentManager) {
_contentManager = contentManager;
}
public Localizer T { get; set; }
public void Describe(dynamic context) {
context.For("Track", T("Track"), T("Tokens for Track"))
.Token("ClubName", T("ClubName"), T("The name of the club."))
;
}
public void Evaluate(dynamic context) {
context.For<TrackPart>("Track")
.Token("ClubName", (Func<TrackPart, object>)(field => field.ClubName))
.Chain("ClubName", "ClubName", (Func<TrackPart, object>)(field =>field.ClubName))
;
}</code>
The above code was based on the DateTimeField token inside the Orchard.Fields module.
context.For("DateTimeField") .Token("Date", (Func)(field => field.DateTime)) .Chain("Date", "Date", (Func)(field => field.DateTime));
