Hi all, I am trying to create some virtual product categories / pages that needs to live beneath a Products node. My planned structure should end up being:

Frontpage
 ├── About us
 ├── Random Page
 ├── Products
 │   ├── Category #1 (Virtual)
 │   │   ├── Product #1.1 (Virtual)
 │   │   ├── Product #1.2 (Virtual)
 │   ├── Category #2 (Virtual)
 │   │   ├── Product #2.1 (Virtual)
 │   │   ├── Product #2.2 (Virtual)
 │   │   ├── Product #2.3 (Virtual)

After reading various posts in the forum, it seems that it can be done with either a Custom routes within the Umbraco pipeline (https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/v/13.latest-lts/reference/routing/custom-routes#custom-routes-within-the-umbraco-pipeline) or a Content Finder (https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/v/13.latest-lts/reference/routing/request-pipeline/icontentfinder). I currently have it working with a custom controller that implements the

IVirtualPageController

interface so I am able to request:

/en-us/products/category-1-virtual

/en-us/products/category-1-virtual/product-1-1

Since my site uses language variants, I need the routes to be dynamic so I can generate the routes for each language, so I have like:

/en-us/products/category-1-virtual

/en-us/products/category-1-virtual/product-1-1

/da-dk/produkter/category-1-virtual

/da-dk/produkter/category-1-virtual/product-1-1

Also, the routes must only live beneath existing nodes in Umbraco that is of the type

productsOverview

. In the example above, it would be the Products node Any suggestions as to how this might be achieved would be most welcome.

We do it through the UmbracoPipelineFilter like this

csharp
public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
{
        builder.Services.Configure<UmbracoPipelineOptions>(options =>
        {
            options.AddFilter(new UmbracoPipelineFilter(nameof(EventPageController))
            {
                Endpoints = app => app.UseEndpoints(e =>
                {
                    // danish
                    e.MapControllerRoute("EventPageController", "/dk/arrangementer/{eventName}/{id}", new { Controller = "EventPage", Action = "Index" });
                    e.MapControllerRoute("EventPageController", "/dk/arrangementer/{eventName}/{id}/tilmeld", new { Controller = "EventRegistrationPage", Action = "Index" });
                    e.MapControllerRoute("EventPageController", "/dk/arrangementer/{eventName}/{id}/tak", new { Controller = "EventConfirmationPage", Action = "Index" });
                    e.MapControllerRoute("EventPageController", "/dk/arrangementer/{eventName}/{id}/rediger", new { Controller = "EventUpdatePage", Action = "Index" });

                    // english
                    e.MapControllerRoute("EventPageController", "/en/events/{eventName}/{id}", new { Controller = "EventPage", Action = "Index" });
                    e.MapControllerRoute("EventPageController", "/en/evens/{eventName}/{id}/signup", new { Controller = "EventRegistrationPage", Action = "Index" });
                    e.MapControllerRoute("EventPageController", "/en/events/{eventName}/{id}/thanks", new { Controller = "EventConfirmationPage", Action = "Index" });
                    e.MapControllerRoute("EventPageController", "/dk/events/{eventName}/{id}/edit", new { Controller = "EventUpdatePage", Action = "Index" });
                })
            });
        });
    }
    
}

A few backticks could really make this code pop @Kaspar Boel Kjeldsen 😁 https://gist.github.com/matthewzring/9f7bbfd102003963f9be7dbcf7d40e51#syntax-highlighting

Duly noted, kinda new to discord 😉

Thanks @Kaspar Boel Kjeldsen! That was a push in the right direction. I really appreciate it!
