Change URL Routing by overriding GenericPathRoute.cs in Plugin nopCommerce 3.3

I am trying to create a plugin which will override the TopicsDetails.cshtml page. I added a route like this:

      routes.MapRoute("Nop.Plugin.Other.CustomTopic.ViewCustomTopic", "{SeName}",
                        new { controller = "CustomTopic", action = "TopicDetails", SeName = UrlParameter.Optional },
                        new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Other.CustomTopic.Controllers" });

This is getting all the {SeName} to my CustomTopicController .Even the products SeName.

If I add this instead of the older one:

       routes.MapRoute("Nop.Plugin.Other.CustomTopic.ViewCustomTopic",
                        new { controller = "CustomTopic", action = "TopicDetails" },
                        new[] { "Nop.Plugin.Other.CustomTopic.Controllers" });

I get an error because the TopicDetails(int itemId) Action receives an integer which is not provided as we know that GenericPathRoutes.cs Provides that integer.

How can I override the Rules of GenericPathRoutes.cs to do it so that only the topic SeName would hit my Controller or is there other way to do that kind of work or is it even possible to do?

Recently i wrote an article which shows how to override localized route and i used the TopicDetails view as an example. There article is here. Inshort, your route provider shall look like this;

public class RouteProvider : IRouteProvider
{
    private const string NAMESPACES = "Nop.Plugin.Misc.Custom.Controllers";
    private const string CONTROLLER = "MiscCustom";

    public void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {     
        //Public Override
        routes.MapGenericPathRoute("Plugin.Misc.Custom.GenericUrl",
            "{generic_se_name}",
            new { controller = "Common", action = "GenericUrl" },
            new[] { NAMESPACES });

    }

    public int Priority
    {
        get { return Int32.Max; }
    }
}

I am not sure whether i understand your question can you try it by adding id = UrlParameter.Optional here any id parameter is optional it wont throw that error
