Partial Route - removing a segment from the URL

Hi team,

I'm working on partial route in purpose to remove a segment from an URL.

We have the following structure:

Landing Page → Container Page → Start Page → Standard Page → [other pages of type Standard Page]

I need for each page under the ContainerPage to hide its segment from URL.

Example: http://siteHost/landingPage/containerPage/startPage/standardPage1/standardPage2/

Expected to be: http://siteHost/landingPage/startPage/standardPage1/standardPage2/

(no containerPage segment)

There is a partial router, it inherits from

IPartialRouter<LandingPage, BasePage>

where BasePage is a base type for both page types - StartPage and StandardPage. Methods of that interface are implemented:

object RoutePartial(LandingPage content, SegmentContext segmentContext) { ... }

PartialRouteData GetPartialVirtualPath(BasePage content, string language, RouteValueDictionary routeValues, RequestContext requestContext) { ... }

Router is registered. We get into partial router for pages like following:

http://siteHost/landingPage/containerPage/startPage

But for the page from example it is not working - we even don't get into the method.

Did I miss something in the solution?

Thanks in advance!

We have done something Similar and had to use Search and Navigation to Find the Page to serve full example here

    public class CampaignRouter : IPartialRouter<InsightLandingPage, CampaignPage>

        private readonly TimeSpan _cacheTimespan = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0);
#else

#endif
        private ContentReference _container;
