Wondering if anyone has implemented custom controller in merchello on form submit ?

Hi Dharmesh,

You can do it the same way as a standard Umbraco SurfaceController, but you have to inherit it from MerchelloSurfaceController.

Example:

     public class myCustomController : MerchelloSurfaceController
        {

            public ActionResult myAction()
            {
                return View(new myModel);
            }


             [HttpPost]
             [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
             public ActionResult myActionResult(MyModel myModel) 
             {
                   if (!ModelState.IsValid) 
                   { 
                          return CurrentUmbracoPage();
                   }
                   return...;
             }
}

You can call this for instance in a view, example:

@Html.Action("myAction", "myCustomController")

Hi Frans,

Thanks, I tried this way but not actually worked. I'm getting this kind of error on form submit:

"Cannot create an abstract class."

Look at the screenshot attached here:

Actually I want to customize checkout form and on form submit i want to redirect to custom action of my custom controller. when i try to inspect element and check the form action attribute, seems like it's not changing the action attribute.

I used this form html helper:

@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm<RootDir.App_code.Controllers.CustomCheckoutController>("CustomCheckoutConfirmation"))
    { }

But on inspecting form html tag from browser, it displays it's action attribute as:

form action="/checkout/confirm-sale/" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">

Thanks & Regards

Hi Frans,

Thanks for your immediate replies to my questions. It was the parameter type that created the issue. The type was different from it was passed from view that's why i was getting the kind of error i mentioned in my previous post. Thank you so much :)

Thanks & Regards
