Question

I’m having problems rerouting my pages from website.com/controller/action to website.com/admin/controller/action.

I tried adding this to global.asax:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Admin",
    "admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    new { controller = "Admin", action = "Index", id = "UrlParameter.Optional" }
);

It worked but it also rewrote my other links adding the word “admin” in unintended places.

My problem is similar to this: ASP.NET MVC Routing, Need help creating route

Solved this using MVC areas. But the problem with areas is that you can not simply cut/paste your views and controllers to the new area – you have to recreate all of the controllers to make them work again. Hope this helps someone.
