Please help! I am a newbie to Zend and want to modifiy the default routing for a cms project I am working on.
How do I create a "catch all" route in zend should a controller not exist?
I am trying to create links like:
mydomain.com/slug
mydomain.com/slug1
Where slug and slug1 can be passed as params to a specified default controller (pagesController) so I can fetch the appropriate content from the DB.
I apprecaite any help!! :)
One way to do it is to write a simple Controller Plugin that tests whether a request is otherwise dispatchable, and if not, send it to your page controller/action:
<?PHP
class PageRouter extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract {
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $req) {
$dispatcher = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getDispatcher();
if (!$dispatcher->isDispatchable($req, $req)) {
$req->setModuleName('default');
$req->setControllerName('page');
$req->setActionName('page');
}
}
}
And make sure you register it with your frontcontroller:
Bootstrap.php:
protected function _initFrontControllerPlugins() {
$this->bootstrap('FrontController');
$fc = $this->getResource('FrontController');
$pluginPageRouter = new PageRouter();
$fc->registerPlugin($pluginPageRouter);
}
Instead of overriding the preDispatch, you could also do this in the routeShutdown. This was the only way to getting this up for me.
