Help with routes needed...

abatardi · #1 (**permalink**) 07-15-2008, 10:05 PM

I'm trying to create a site and I want to forward to various "sub" sites based on a parameter in the URL instead of just using modules, as pretty much all the code (with the exception of some front end styles) will remain the same for the sites (only data/content will change).

Maybe an example will be easier to understand what I'm trying to do:

Conditions:
1) domain.com/ should point to Index controller / Index action
2) domain.com/site/ should point to Index controller / "site" should be passed as name param
3) domain.com/site/page should point to Page controller / "site" should be passed as name param

So basically instead of being in domain.com/controller/action/param format I need it in domain.com/param/controller/action... I basically want the same set of controllers to handle all the various sites and just spit out the different data from the db based on the site name...

Possible?

Try something like this (using Zend_Config_Ini... code would go in your ini file)
1) domain.com/ Will work out of the box
2) domain.com/site/

Code:

routes.site.route = ":name"

Will default to index action, index controller. Inside your controller:

PHP Code:


			
$this->_getParam('name')

will equal 'site'

3) domain.com/site/page

Code:

routes.sitePage.route = ":name/:controller"

Will default to index action, and whatever controller is specified in the URL.

You may also have to define

Code:

routes.sitePageAction.route = ":name/:controller/:action"
routes.sitePageActionParams.route = ":name/:controller/:action/*"
