I am trying to change layout in SiteCore 8.0 (update 3) for all my pages from code behind. I am using layout resolver pipeline for it. i can debug & see changed path, but cannot get updated layout on UI. I have seen various post by googling, who are doing same thing but those are quite old (older then 2-3 yrs).
below is my layout resolver pipeline code
public class LayoutResolver : HttpRequestProcessor
{
public LayoutResolver()
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("PipeLine: ctor() has been called");
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets the layout for the page
/// </summary>
/// <param name="args"></param>
public override void Process(HttpRequestArgs args)
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("PipeLine: This is atleast called");
Assert.ArgumentNotNull(args, "args");
if (!CanProcess())
{
return;
}
Context.Page.FilePath = "/Views/Shared/BusinessLayout_Two.cshtml";
}
private static bool CanProcess()
{
return Context.Database != null
&& !IsCore(Context.Database);
}
private static bool IsCore(Database database)
{
return database.Name == Constants.CoreDatabaseName;
}
}
EDIT : showconfig.config show my resolver register in config. SiteCoreSample.Helpers.LayoutResolver is my resolver.
<processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.LayoutResolver, Sitecore.Kernel"/>
<processor type="SiteCoreSample.Helpers.LayoutResolver, SiteCoreSample" patch:source="Sitecore.Mvc.config"/>

Since you are using MVC you need to add procesors to a different set of pipelines, the LayoutResolver
pipeline you mention is only relevant for Webforms projects..
I would suggest you create another Layout
item under /sitecore/layout/Layouts
for your secondary MVC layout. Then create processor that will switch the layout item to the secondary one as required:
using System;
using Sitecore;
using Sitecore.Mvc.Pipelines.Response.GetPageRendering;
namespace MyProject.CMS.Custom.Pipelines.GetPageRendering
{
public class GetCustomLayoutRendering : GetPageRenderingProcessor
{
public override void Process(GetPageRenderingArgs args)
{
if (args.Result == null)
return;
if (!ShouldSwitchLayout()) //or whatever your custom logic is
return;
args.Result.LayoutId = new Guid("{guid-to-alt-layout}");
args.Result.Renderer = null;
}
}
}
And the patch the processor in to the mvc.getPageRendering
pipeline:
<mvc.getPageRendering>
<processor type="MyProject.CMS.Custom.Pipelines.GetPageRendering.GetCustomLayoutRendering, MyProject.CMS.Custom"/>
</mvc.getPageRendering>
It's important to set args.Result.Renderer
to null, since that will force the rendering to be refetched and use the alternative layout from the ID you just set.
