Hi Rasmus,

I think you can do this. I have a similiar thing at this post:

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/developing-umbraco-7-packages/59395-Custom-route-for-webApiController

You can customize your route like this:

protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
{
RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute("YourCustomRouteName", "Umbraco/Api/Comment", new { controller = "YourControllerName", action = "YourActionName" });
}

You can give one of your action method the attribute [HttpGet] and your second action with the same name the attribute [HttpPost] in your ApiController. I have the example with attributes not tested yet, but at least in theory it should work as this.

Hope this helps.

Hey Soren :) 

Thx for a possible solution.

So now i might be asking a "funny" question, but where shall i put this ? Im gussing its in a global asax file right ? 

But in Umbraco there is already a global.asax file, adding another wont this frack it up ? any pointers would be awesome-tastic!

Awesome thx ill spin it and get back 

Hey Soren :) 

Ive tried but i think im missing something somewhere.

Ive created a simple class looking like this, added it to the App_Code :

  public class EventHandler : ApplicationEventHandler
    {
        protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {
            RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute("Comments", "Umbraco/Api/Comment", new { controller = "CommentController", action = "Comment" });
        }
    }

So that seems okay i guess, then i have a Controller looking like this :

 public class CommentController : UmbracoApiController
    {
        [HttpPost]
        public HttpResponseMessage Comment(CommentModel model)
        {
            var service = new ContentService();
            var currentmember = Members.GetCurrentMember();
            var project = service.GetById(Convert.ToInt32(model.QuestionId));

            var comment = service.CreateContent(
            DateTime.Now.ToUnixTime().ToString(), 
            project.Id,  
            "kommentar", 
            0);

            comment.SetValue("tekst", model.Comment);
            comment.SetValue("bruger", currentmember.Id);

            service.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(comment);

            return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
        }
}

When i "post" i get a 404, can you see me missing anything

I got it working :) like this :

 protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
        {

            RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute("CommentApi", "Api/Questions/{QuestionId}/Comments", new { controller = "Comment", action = "Index", QuestionId = UrlParameter.Optional });
        }

I think the umbraco/api is not available to add to.

Hi Rasmus,

sorry for the late response. I had a few days off. Nice to hear that you can solved it. I have a very similar project for the beginning of next year. I will tell you my experience with this if I have implemented this. Maybe I find another way to solve this. I'll keep you up to date.

Sure thing Soren :)

The solution above works like a charm, only thing to be aware of is i think "/Umbraco/Api" is reserved and gussing thats why it didnt work in the first place.

is working on a reply...
