Hi Pedro,

I am struggling with the same issue as you.

Would it be possible to get a glance at your custom content finder?

Many Thanks,

Miguel L.

Could anyone who has made their own ProductFinder with SEO friendly urls, please post their code over here? Would help me, and propably many others in getting the urls for products right.

Thanks!

Bumping this post - could anyone please share their custom content finders for category URLs?

Bumpity Bump.

Plz share--- I need it too... :-)

Currently, Ive been building my first merchello site, and i`ve also encountered this problem.

You need to append logic to an existing class which extends ApplicationEventHandler, or create one if you dont have one yet.

using Merchello.Core.Models;
using Merchello.Core.Services;
using Merchello.Web.Routing;
using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Events;
using Umbraco.Core.Logging;
using Umbraco.Web.Routing;
namespace myNameSpace
{
public class CustomApplicationEventHandler : ApplicationEventHandler
    {
        protected override void ApplicationStarting(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            this.RegisterContentFinders();
        }

        // contentfinder
        /// <summary>
        /// Registers Custom Merchello content finder.
        /// </summary>
        private void RegisterContentFinders()
        {
            var types = ContentFinderResolver.Current.GetTypes();
            var UmbcontentFinderByIdPathIndex = ContentFinderResolver.Current.GetTypes().IndexOf(typeof(ContentFinderByIdPath));
            ContentFinderResolver.Current.RemoveType<ContentFinderProductBySlug>();
            UmbcontentFinderByIdPathIndex = ContentFinderResolver.Current.GetTypes().IndexOf(typeof(ContentFinderByIdPath));
            ContentFinderResolver.Current.InsertType<MYCUSTOMCONTENTFINDER>(UmbcontentFinderByIdPathIndex + 1);
        }           

    }
}

HI Guys

I thought I'd share my content finders with you as you're asking, there are 3, one for brands, one for products (with categories) and one for members, this code never went into production, but was working before we went with a different approach. Some of the member content finder was code found through this forum.

I would not say that this is the correct way to do this, but I managed to get it to work.

I hope this helps someone

            //Check if the Url Parts
            // Starts with /member/*
            if (urlParts.Length > 1 && urlParts[1].ToLower() == "member")

                //Lets try & find the member
                var categoryName = urlParts[2];
                var productName = urlParts[3];
                var memberName = urlParts[1];
                LogHelper.Info(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType, "this is the host " + urlParts[1]);
                //Try and find a member where the property matches the memberName
                var tryFindMember = Member.GetAll.SingleOrDefault(x => Utils.FriendlyName(x.getProperty("_firstName").Value.ToString()) + "-" + Utils.FriendlyName(x.getProperty("_surname").Value.ToString()) == memberName);

                //var tryFindContent = Content.GetAll

                //Need to set the member ID or pass member object to published content
                //Will pass a null to view if not found & can display not found member message
                HttpContext.Current.Items["memberProfile"] = tryFindMember;

                //Add in string to items - for profile name user was looking for
                HttpContext.Current.Items["memberName"] = memberName;

                //Set the Published Content Node to be the /Profile node - can get properties off it & my member profile in the view
                contentRequest.PublishedContent = contentRequest.RoutingContext.UmbracoContext.ContentCache.GetByRoute("/contributors/newcontibutorpage/");

                //Return true to say found something & stop pipeline & other contentFinder's from running
                return true;
            }

            //Not found any content node to display/match - so run next ContentFinder in Pipeline
            return false;
        }
    }
}

Also used a utility to format the url, that is used in here

public static string FriendlyName(string phrase)
        {
            string str = phrase.ToLower();

            // invalid chars, make into spaces
            str = Regex.Replace(str, @"[^a-z0-9\s-]", "");
            // convert multiple spaces/hyphens into one space
            str = Regex.Replace(str, @"[\s-]+", " ").Trim();
            // hyphens
            str = Regex.Replace(str, @"\s", "-");

            return str;
        }

Hey Guys,

We can Achieve this simply ,please go through this

1. Create a Class file with any name ExampleFinder.cs

2. Paste the code

    public class ExampleFinder: IContentFinder
        {
            public bool TryFindContent(PublishedContentRequest request)
            {
                var merchelloHelper = new MerchelloHelper();
                //  var slug = request.Uri.AbsolutePath.TrimStart('/');// EnsureNotStartsOrEndsWith('/');
                var currentCulture=Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name;
                var path = request.Uri.GetAbsolutePathDecoded();
                var urlParts = path.Split(new[] { '/' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
               var productSlug= urlParts[urlParts.Length - 1];
                var productContent = merchelloHelper.TypedProductContentBySlug(productSlug);
                if (productContent == null) return false;
               var urlList= urlParts.Where(x => x != productSlug).Select(x => x).ToList();
               var url= "/"+  String.Join("/", urlList);
                var content = umbraco.uQuery.GetNodeByUrl(url);
                // var content = UmbracoContext.Current.ContentCache.GetByRoute(url);
                if (content != null)
                {
                    request.PublishedContent = productContent;
                    return true;
                }
                return false; 
            } 
 }

3.) Add the missing references to your project.

4.) Create a Event handler by Inheriting the Umbraco Event Handler

5.) Paste the code.

public class CustomApplicationEventHandler : ApplicationEventHandler
    {
        protected override void ApplicationStarting(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            this.RegisterContentFinders();

        }
        private void RegisterContentFinders()
        {
            var types = ContentFinderResolver.Current.GetTypes();
            var UmbcontentFinderByIdPathIndex = ContentFinderResolver.Current.GetTypes().IndexOf(typeof(ContentFinderByIdPath));
          ContentFinderResolver.Current.RemoveType <ContentFinderProductBySlug>();
            UmbcontentFinderByIdPathIndex = ContentFinderResolver.Current.GetTypes().IndexOf(typeof(ContentFinderByIdPath));
//Register our content finder class here 
            ContentFinderResolver.Current.InsertType<ExampleFinder>(UmbcontentFinderByIdPathIndex + 1);
        } }

6.) Add missing references.

7.) Buid and Run.

This is Work's fine for me ,thank you !

is working on a reply...
