Question

I have an Orchard cms module with some additional Content types set up and have added an AutoRoute component via code.
Everything works perfectly, however I am not happy with the default permalink pattern.

What I am trying to do is add a custom pattern and use one of the public properties in my content type. In my case the custom type has a public property called ClubName and I would like that to be used (It makes more sense from a routing perspective).
The Orchard part class name is called TrackPart.

I have tried {Content.TrackPart.ClubName}, {Content.Track.ClubName}, {ContentItem.TrackPart.ClubName},{Content.TrackPart.ClubName} and various other variations but nothing seems to be working.

I am really new to Orchard so there is a high chance I am missing something simple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In response to feedback from @Bertrand-le-roy I created my own token by copying an example token. I can now get see the token in the drop down menu and select it. However the route pattern is still not working.

I can only assume that I have misunderstood the Evaluate() function’s context.For usage. It looks like I am not getting the data I need

Here is what I have so far.

public class TrackPartTokens : ITokenProvider {
private readonly IContentManager _contentManager;

    public TrackPartTokens(IContentManager contentManager) {
        _contentManager = contentManager;
    }

    public Localizer T { get; set; }

    public void Describe(dynamic context) {
        context.For("Track", T("Track"), T("Tokens for Track"))
            .Token("ClubName", T("ClubName"), T("The name of the club."))
            ;
    }

    public void Evaluate(dynamic context) {
        context.For<TrackPart>("Track")
            .Token("ClubName", (Func<TrackPart, object>)(field => field.ClubName))
            .Chain("ClubName", "ClubName", (Func<TrackPart, object>)(field =>field.ClubName))
            ;
    }</code>

The above code was based on the DateTimeField token inside the Orchard.Fields module.

context.For("DateTimeField")
.Token("Date", (Func)(field => field.DateTime))
.Chain("Date", "Date", (Func)(field => field.DateTime));

You’ll have to make your own token. It’s really easy. Copy a working example.
