How can I dynamic generate URL within NavigationProvider? #1111 | Support Center

winson created 8 years ago

I need to dynamic to generate the URL with URL route, because I need to handle the root or subfolder deployment issue, so I want to generate url like below:

UrlHelper url = new UrlHelper(HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext);

var menuUrl= url.RouteUrl(new { Controller = "Home", Action = "Index" });

new MenuItemDefinition(
                        "Home",
                        new FixedLocalizableString("Home"),
                        url: menuUrl,
                        icon: "fa fa-home",
UserRole.JOURNALIST
                        )

but it's can't get the HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext in NavigationProvider class, so any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

That's not possible since menu is created on application initialization, not per request. You can do it while rendering menu (in razor view).
