How to override route in a plugin nopcommerce - plugins

Question

I've a route like Admin/Vendor in my MVC application . Without changing this route I need to point this same route to another method say CustomAdmin/CustomVendor.
I tried attribute routing but no luck . Is there any way to do this. My current code is given below
Original Method:
public class AdminController
{
public ActionResult Vendor()
{
return View();
}
}
Custom Method:
public class CustomAdminController
{
[Route("Admin/Vendor")]
public ActionResult CustomVendor()
{
return View();
}
}

As you're developing a plugin. You have to add your custom route to the RouteProvider.
In default nopCommerce AdminController and Vendor doesn't exists, so I assume that you're trying to override vendor list method of admin.
Which looks like:
public partial class RouteProvider : IRouteProvider
{
public void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
var route = routes.MapRoute("Plugin.GroupName.PluginName.CustomVendor",
"Admin/Vendor/List",
new { controller = "CustomAdminController", action = "CustomVendor", orderIds = UrlParameter.Optional, area = "Admin" },
new[] { "Nop.Plugin.GroupName.PluginName.Controllers" });
route.DataTokens.Add("area", "admin");
routes.Remove(route);
routes.Insert(0, route);
}
public int Priority
{
get
{
return 100; // route priority
}
}
}
Side Note: GroupName and PluginName should be your plugin group name and plugin name.
Hope this helps !

On your plugin which class implements the interface IRouteProvider, you can easily override the route there.
Likewise I have a class named RouteProvider in my plugin, So I have Implemented the abstract function RegisterRoutes and simply it can be overrided by
routes.MapRoute("Plugin.Promotion.Combo.SaveGeneralSettings",
"Admin/Vendor",
new { controller = "CustomAdmin", action = "CustomVendor", },
new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Promotion.Combo.Controllers" }
);
Here Plugin.Promotion.Combo must be replaced by your plugin directory.And using SaveGeneralSettings or any things you want to use that will be your route url
