Hi all,

I’m triying to set routes based on prefixed actions, for example:

An UserController with prefixed with ‘admin_’ string actions (admin_editAction(), admin_listActions()…)

so every time i write /admin/:controller/:action my router redirects me to
Controller->prefixed with ‘admin_’ . $actionname

for the example -> /admin/user/edit/ will be controller user, action admin_editAction
it is possible?

great blog Naneau, thx for your efforts

I think what you’re looking for here is a static route. You can easily add those to your router. http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.router.html#zend.controller.router.routes.static will give you some pointers on how to do that

Sorry to post again, but I figured out what I needed to do, or at least a way to get it done. By creating a Front Controller Plugin by extending Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract, and overiding the preDispatch method. I can then process the URL and change the controller by calling $this->getRequest()->setControllerName(‘controller’) and $this->getRequest()->setActionName(‘action’);. I hope that someone else may find this to be useful.

Maybe you could help me with a thought I am trying to work out. I am trying to create really clean URLs for pages of a site that will be stored in a database (http://domain/about_us/history). I don’t want to create controllers for all these things or hard code additional routes. I was hoping to detect these pages in a preDispatch function so I could redirect to a page controller that I would create. Maybe I am missing something. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this?

Thank you are lot, now unterstanding the routing process I can try the more complex routing process with specified routes.

What’s about writing a tutorial about Zend_Form, I couldn’t find one in the web ?

thank you very much

Wow, you are awesome (and Dutch – yay!). I was reading through your other posts (great blog btw) and I just read the third part of your ZF tutorial. It explains everything. Then /me thinks I’d post it here so you don’t have to bother replying and then you’ve already replied! You just made my day

Ah… you’re talking about more complex routes here. I assume you are able to write controllers/actions for both the regular page and the feed? If so, what you can do to achieve such a thing is use the rewrite router and set up routes. You can add a custom route for both /news/all, and /news/all/feed/. Read more about the rewrite router here: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.router.html

But what if I had, say, http://mysite.com/news/all/ and I wanted to display a feed at http://mysite.com/news/all/feed/ , how would I go about doing that?
