Join For FreeThis article shows you how to override the action method in nopCommerce 3.8 version. In this article, I am going to override the Contact us form to extend its functionality. But this action method override way is not worked over seo URL (route value) like product URL, category URL, etc.
Override Contact Us page
Now, I am going to show how to override the Contact us page using plugin. This Contact us form has fields like name, emailid, and content, but I want to add one more field, contact no, that will help me to get the contact details of the person who is going to post this form.

For this feature, I am going to add one project into the plugin folder and add the ContactusController.cs, RouteProvider.cs, ContactUsModel.cs, ContactUs.cshtml, app.config, description.txt, OverrideActionMethodProvider.cs, packages.config, and web.config. For now, I refer to the Nop.Plugin.ExternalAuth.Facebook plugin.
My plugin structure is as below:
I have created:
- ContactSscontroller.cs => for the Contact us form
getorpostmethod. - RouteProvider.cs => is used to override the route URL of Contact us. If the user calls the Contact us URL, then our plugin form will be displayed instead of default nopCommerce form (action method).
- ContactUsmodel.cs => to add one more property of
contact no. - ContactUs.cshtml => This view file displays content of Contact us form.
- OverrideActionMethodProvider.cs => creating a method for the
installanduninstallprocess for plugin
ContactUsmodel.cs model file. I have added my new property into this model. I have used the existing ContactUsModel of nopCommerce.

This controller helps me to display my Contact us form and get the form detail into my end to get new property value.
I hope you've now understood how to override the action method using plugin in nopcommerce3.8. I have attached the source code of this plugin so you will be able to get a better idea about this.
