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 );

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.

That is my two routers:
->addRoute('viewTextMaterial', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':mCat/:mCatSub/:mId/:mTitle', array('controller' => 'index', 'action' => 'viewtextmaterial')))
->addRoute('viewNews', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':nCat/:nId/:nTitle/:page', array('controller' => 'index', 'action' => 'viewnews')))
In index.phtml file I add this:
Test
Exp. for viewnews URL:
some text
But why, when I click a href, it redirect me to 'viewnews'?
In my experience(which is not very great :) )
I think when you use the colon in front of a name, when you are defining a router
i.e like
'/:mCat/:mCatSub/:mId/:mTitle',
array(
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'viewtextmaterial'
)
What you are telling the router to do is to route any url, which follows the above format('/:mCat/:mCatSub/:mId/:mTitle'), to be routed to the controller/action you mentioned there. eg.
someController/action/x/y
or
anoCont/act/a/b
would be routed to the same controller/action.
So in your case what you are doing is you are defining two routers with same options(which creates ambiguity), and by default the second defined route is used(Bottom to top matching).
you can use something like this
'/test/:mCatSub/:mId/:mTitle',
array(
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'viewtextmaterial'
)
so anything that starts with 'test' as controller(in the url) would now be routed to your desired controller/view.
Hope it works.. :) (If it doesn't please enlighten me :) )
I am using social engine, I want to change my url from www.example.com/signup to www.example.com/activate, sorry I want to keep both urls. please let me know how to do this
Put this code in your public/index.php file.
$FrontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$Router = $FrontController->getRouter();
$Router->addRoute("activate",
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
(
"/activate",
array
("controller" => "signup",
"action" => "index"
)
));
here: activate is the name of the router. /activate is the url you want as address, controller and action is self descriptive.
In application/modules/Use/settings/manifest find these lines:
'user_signup' => array(
'route' => '/signup/:action/*',
'defaults' => array(
'module' => 'user',
'controller' => 'signup',
'action' => 'index'
)
Change /signup/:action/ to /activate/:action.
You could modify your .htaccess to create redirects, refer to this example
I'm trying to setup some routes for my ZF app but not getting too far. I have a controller 'WebServiceController', it has an index action and a lookupTransaction action. I want to use routes like this:
ws/
ws/lookupTransaction
Ideally I'd like anything with a 'ws/' prefix to go to the WebServiceController and match the action name. I'm not sure how to do that yet but I am trying to get each route working so I added these two routes:
<?php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
function _initRoutes()
{
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$router = $frontController->getRouter();
$router->addRoute('ws', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('ws/', array(
'controller' => 'web-service',
'action' => 'index',
)));
$router->addRoute('ws/lookupTransaction', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('ws/lookupTransaction', array(
'controller' => 'web-service',
'action' => 'lookup-transaction',
)));
}
}
The first one works as expected but the second one doesn't, I just get 'Application Error'. What am I doing wrong? Just out of interest, if I remove my two routes and try and go to:
web-service/lookup-transaction
I still get the same error!
Solved
Here is how I can make it work with camel cased action name and camel cased URL.
$router->addRoute('ws', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('ws/:action', array(
'controller' => 'web-service',
'action' => 'index',
)));
$router->addRoute('ws-lookupTransaction', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('ws/lookupTransaction', array(
'controller' => 'web-service',
'action' => 'lookup-transaction',
)));
Thanks

Try just this one route as a solution to both problems:
$router->addRoute('ws', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('ws/:action', array(
'controller' => 'web-service',
'action' => 'index',
)));
the action parameter then serves as a default, so if no action is specified in the URL, index will be used. Otherwise it will route to the action in the URL. So example.com/ws/lookupTransaction will go to lookuptransactionAction() in your controller.
If this still gives you an error, post the error message so we can see what the problem is.
The router actually transforms URLs to lowercase. So the correct URL should be all lowercase dash separated words. Also I'm not sure if it's possible to use slash in route name (the first parameter of addRoute()).
In my IndexController, I currently have indexAction (homepage), loginAction and logoutAction. I'm trying to remove "/index/" from the URL to get domain.com/login instead of domain.com/index/login.
What is the cleanest way to achieve this? Is there a RegEx we can use? I don't ever want /index/ in the URL.
My current solution, which I believe can be improved upon, is below. Also, what does the first parameter in addRoute() do?
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
protected function _initViewHelpers()
{
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$router = $front->getRouter();
$router->addRoute('login',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('login/*', array(
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'login'
))
);
$router->addRoute('logout',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('logout/*', array(
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'logout'
))
);
}
}
There is nothing to impove, you have to create route for every action. This will allow you to change route defaults (module/controller/action) without modifying your code.
First parameter is the route name, which you have to use with url() helper in your views:
Login
Update. You can use such route, if you want only one route without "index" in url:
$router->addRoute('default',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':action/*', array(
'controller' => 'index',
))
);
