Using Zend translate in Bootstrap.php - zend-framework

I have several routes defined in Zend's Bootstrap.php that I want to translate with Zend's translate function:
$trans = new Zend_View_Helper_Translate();
$router->addRoute(
'myroute',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':lang/'.$trans->translate('mytitle').'/',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'statistics'
)
)
);
The helper itself seems to work (doesn't throw an exception or error) but always returns mytitle instead of the actual translation which is defined in the language file (I checked - the language files work in the view).
How can I get the translate function to work in the Bootstrap.php file?

Remember that you needs to load translations before you use it.
Load routing translations like:
$router->setDefaultTranslator($yourTranslator);
Best how to use routing translations is adding '#' before a word you want to translate f.e.:
$router->addRoute(
'myroute',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':lang/#mytitle/',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'statistics'
)
)
);

Zend Framework: Page not found

I have developed a web application with Zend Framework which root is http://www.demo31.com/validacion/demo31/ but when I call that url I've got the next error:
Page not found
Request Parameters:
array (
'controller' => 'validacion',
'action' => 'demo31',
'module' => 'default',
)
I want that the values of array would be next:
array (
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'index',
'module' => 'default',
)
And my .htaccess is correct.
So, what do I have to do what I want?
Zend framework normally operates as per routes. If a particular URL is not reaching your code, then you have to configure routes to do that.
$router = $front -> getRouter();
$routePage = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('/:controller/:action', array(
/* ^ Things to notice
Only two parameters are
asked from the route */
'controller' => 'default',
'action' => 'index',
'module' => 'default' //Predefine the module as `default
));
$router -> addRoute('default', $routePage);
By default, ZF assumes that the app is located in the root of the domain so that's why it treats validacion as a controller.

Multiple Routes with Standard Router (Zend Framework)

I am trying to set up multiple routes to the same controller in zend as such:
URL | Controller::Action
=================================================================================
http://mysite/tasks/:level/ | Objectives::Objectives
http://mysite/tasks/:level/:objective/ | Objectives::tasks
http://mysite/tasks/:level/:objective/:taskID/ | Objectives::view
I've tried the following:
<?php
$router->addRoute('objectives', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'task/:level/:objective/:taskID/',
array(
'controller' => 'objectives',
'action' => 'view'
)
));
$router->addRoute('objectives', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'task/:level/:objective/',
array(
'controller' => 'objectives',
'action' => 'tasks'
)
));
$router->addRoute('objectives', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'task/:level/',
array(
'controller' => 'objectives',
'action' => 'tasks'
)
));
?>
However the last rule seems to overwrite the previous rules in the router.. I've read the Zend Documentation for the router over and over, I have a feeling im just missing something - should I be using a different router class?
Any help is Much Appreciated
As suspected I was overwriting the previous rules. The first argument for addRoute() is a name for the route, not the controller you are routing to as I thought. Giving each route a unique name fixed the problem.

Regex Routing - rule not being found

I'm defining regex routes for cleaning up my URLS. The idea is that all pages added by the user will be use the URL www.example.com/page-slug rather than using the actual controller, www.example.com/userpages/page-slug. Other pages will follow the standard module:controller:action routing scheme.
I'm trying to aceive this using router precedence.
I have defined the scheme below..
class Default_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap{
protected function _initRoute() {
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$router = $front->getRouter(); // returns a rewrite router by default
$route['index'] = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
'/',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'index'
)
);
$route['contact'] = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
'contact/(\d+)',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'contact',
'action' => 'index'
)
);
$route['research'] = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
'research/(\d+)',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'research',
'action' => 'index'
)
);
$route['account'] = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
'account/(\d+)',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'account',
'action' => 'index'
)
);
$route['userpages'] = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
'/(.+)',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'userpages',
'action' => 'index'
),
array(
'slug' => 1
),
'%s'
);
$router->addRoute('userpages', $route['userpages']);
$router->addRoute('contact', $route['contact']);
$router->addRoute('research', $route['research']);
$router->addRoute('account', $route['account']);
$router->addRoute('index', $route['index']);
}
}
Things are generally working OK with the router precedence ensuring that index/account/research/contact pages are picking up the correct controller. However, when attempting to go to a URL covered by the "userpages" route e.g. "about-us", final catch all route is not being found resulting in...
Message: Invalid controller specified (about-us)
.
.
.
Request Parameters:
array (
'controller' => 'about-us',
'action' => 'index',
'module' => 'default',
)
Any idea where I'm going wrong here? It seems to me that the regex is correct "/(.+)" should be catching eveything that is not the index page.
EDIT: #phatfingers, OK you're right, I've edited "\d+" to ".+" to catch one or more of any character. The problem persists. In fact before changing the regex, I tried the URL www.example.com/52, and got the same error - "Invalid controller specified (52)". After the change - with code as per the edited snippet above, the rule is still failing to find any matches.
Drop the forward slash in the 'userpages' regex, i.e. just ('.+)
The quote is straight from the manual Zend Router and Router_Regex but afaik it also applies to all the routes.
Note: Leading and trailing slashes are trimmed from the URL in the
Router prior to a match. As a result, matching the URL
http://domain.com/foo/bar/, would involve a regex of foo/bar, and not
/foo/bar.

Pretty Zend Framework urls

I would like to have my urls like this:
/index
/contact
/articles
/articles/selection
...
Instead of:
/index/index
/index/contact
/articles/index
/articles/selection
...
Basically I have only one controller. Which solution is the best to perform this? (controllers and redirections, ZF routing, url rewriting, something else?)
Have a look at the documentation. The behaviour you want is configured as default in the default router:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.router.html
if the first param do not maps a module name, it will search for a controller and if this fails too, it is looking for an action in your IndexController.
Did you tried calling your url's like you want to?
What happens if you navigate to /index? Should be the same like /index/index
use zend routing :
$router = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter();
$route_index = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':action', array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'index'
));
$router->addRoute('route_index', $route_index );
$route_articles = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('articles/:action', array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'articles',
'action' => 'index'
));
$router->addRoute('route_articles ', $route_articles );

Zend Framework Router Getting /module/VALUE/controller/action

I've been googling around and I can't seem to find anything which explains the use of ZF router well. I've read the documentation on the site, which seems to only talk about re-routing.
I am trying to make the format:
/module/value/controller/action give /module/controller/action passing on value as a parameter
e.g.
/store/johnsmithbigsale/home/newstuff would route to /store/home/newstuff passing on johnsmithbigsale as the value to a parameter with a hidden namespace e.g. storeName.
Some help would be greatful!
You can use Zend_Controller_Router_Route to map your url parts to modules, controllers, actions, and parameters that can be used in the controller by $this->_getParam('varName'). You can define these routes in the application.ini file or in the application bootstrap.
// custom city route
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'cities/:city',
array(
'controller' => 'city',
'action' => 'view'
)
);
$this->addRoute('city', $route);
// custom buy widgets route
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
'buy_(.+)_widgets/([0-9]+)(.*)',
array(
'controller' => 'widgets',
'action' => 'view'
),
array(
1 => 'nothing',
2 => 'widget_id',
3 => 'vars'
)
);
$this->addRoute('widgets', $route);
The regex route is kind of specific to my app, but you can see that each match can get mapped to a parameter.
