Routing

Settings

Routing section has one setting:

• Disable Route - shows or hides the page on the tombola website.

Disable Route

Toggling this setting will either show (toggle inactive) or hide (toggle active) page on the tombola website. By default the toggle will be inactive, to prevent new and empty pages being displayed on the website. However, once the page is finished, it's necessary to enable this setting to display the page on the tombola website.

Before enabling this setting please make sure that:

• Page is completely finished and ready to be displayed on the tombola website.
• If an existing page needs to be replaced on the tombola website, follows the How to replace existing page? section below.
• If a new page with a new route needs to be created on the tombola website, follows the How to create a new page with a new route? section below.
• The links and buttons on the page are relative - /bingo/games, instead of absolute - www.tombola.co.uk/bingo/games. This part is important to make sure that the links are going to work on all environments (Development, Staging, Live).

How to replace an existing page?

If the created page should replace the existing page on the tombola website, please make sure that the page title on the Umbraco Backoffice matches the URL on the tombola website. Let's say, we want to replace Bingo Games page on the tombola website which is on www.tombola.co.uk/bingo/games. To do this, we need to create a Bingo page (/bingo) under Home Page (/) and then create Games page under Bingo page which places the Games page on /bingo/games.

How to create a new page with a new route?

Creating a new page with a new route follows similar steps as replacing the existing page. Let's say, we want to create a new page called Cat which would be on /pets/cat URL. To do this, we need to create Pets page in Umbraco Backoffice and then create a Cat page under Pets which places the Cat page on /pets/cat URL.
