I have created a new module in ZF2 named 'HelloWorld'. What I am trying to do is, simply printing HelloWorld when I click on the link 'HelloWorld':
I want to generate this link(http://mayukh.my.phpcloud.com/zf2test/HelloWorld/) by using this:
$this->url('HelloWorld', array('action' => 'index'))
But it is showing the error like this:
http://mayukh.my.phpcloud.com/zf2test/
Please suggest how to avoid this error..
This is perhaps related to one of ZF2’s “features.” It seems that if you use ZF2 functions to construct your links, the function will drop out any segment that matches the default value you have named in your router script. See How to write the ZF2 router script to allow parameters on the default action.
Temporarily change or remove the defaults from your router script and see if that doesn’t solve your issue. If it does, you might have to either reconsider the scheme for your router scripts or code your links without ZF2’s url function.

I have activated globalization config in my lithium framework.
When I using html helper in my View like '$this->form->create()'.
The page threw an Exception with "No parameter match found for URL {$url}".
I found that in my 'Lithium\action\Request' object ,the Param property has a key named 'locale' , It detected the locale setting with "zh_CN" .That's right however case the problem.The route object could not find the right match.
So how to deal with it? Thanks for all help.
You can use the li3 route command to help you debugging this.
Make sure you have the required routes in your app/config/routes.php and the languages (here zh_CN) in the locales environment variable.
Being new to Cake on PHP, I am trying to work out if I have a URL, what would be the easiest way to find the controller code for it?
The URL on my local machine is something like:
http://foofoofoo.local/protected/admin/org/edit/1
I have worked out that the location of the view for this file is at this location on my machine:
/var/www/MyApp/protected/app/views/org/admin_edit.ctp
I thought what I'd do is do a search throughout the entire codebase for anything referencing admin_edit.ctp. I found two entries, and changed them to see if I had found the point where the view is called, but despite changing the file name on these entries - the app still works when I visit the URL: http://foofoofoo.local/protected/admin/org/edit/1
I just want to see where the admin_edit.ctp file is being called within the site.
URL: http://foofoofoo.local/protected/admin/org/edit/1
This means I can assume you have a added a route in your /app/Config/routes.php. Where this is pointing can not be said since we don't have access to this file.
Why can I assume you have added this to your routes? Because the posted URL is not matching the CakePHP Conventions which clearly states that controllers should be defined in plural. Since the URL will be accessing the Controller directly through the Controller, unless a route has been specified, I know that the OrgController does not exist. Why?
Try Inflector::pluralize('Org'). It will return 'Orgs' to you. And thus meaning the controller should be called OrgsController and you should be accessing this Controller via the following URL.
http://foofoofoo.local/protected/admin/orgs/edit/1
In this OrgsController there should be an action (function) called admin_edit(), because you have prepended the org with Admin, which is a prefix.
It can be possible that the /protected part, is part of the URL as well, but do not know where your main /App is located and what part of the URL is pointing to the /app/webroot/index.php file.
The Views can be found at /app/View/Orgs/*.ctp.
If you are still having trouble finding your files. Please start with the Blog tutorial written by the Cake Community. This tutorial describes all the neat built-in tricks and will get your first app running in no-time. Please read that first!
If you are still having trouble, feel free to update your question and add the /app/Config/routes.php file.
Under Cake 1.3, if your application has an AppController (check if the file app/app_controller.php exists), you can put this code in the beforeFilter method:
debug($this->params);
It will print an array on your app pages when you are in debug mode, with the name of the controller and the action used.
Array
(
...
[controller] => controller_name
[action] => action_name
...
)
If the AppController does not contain any beforeFilter method, you can just create it:
function beforeFilter()
{
debug($this->params);
}
I'm using Zend framework 1.12, trying to come up with custom routes.
I'm trying to create something that looks like facebook's profile URL (http://facebook.com/username). So, at first I tried something like that:
$router->addRoute(
'eventName',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'/:eventName',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'event',
'action' => 'detail'
)
)
);
I kept getting the following error anytime I tried running mydomain.com/something:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Controller_Router_Exception'
with message 'eventName is not specified' in
/var/desenvolvimento/padroes/zf/ZendFramework-1.12.0/library/Zend/Controller/Plugin/Broker.php
on line 336
Not only I was unable to make that piece of code work, all my default routes were (obviously) overwritten. So I have, for example, stuff like "mydomain.com/admin" that should send me to the "admin" module, on the Index controller, but was now returning the same error (as it fell in the same pattern as /:eventName).
What I need to do is to create this custom route, without overwriting the default ones and actually working (dûh).
I have already checked the online docs and a lot (A LOT) of stuff on google, but I didn't find anything related to the error I'm getting or how to not overwrite the default routes. I'd appreciate anything that could point me the right direction.
Thanks.
EDIT¹:
I managed to get it working, but I didn't use any routing at all. I just made a plugin with the following:
public function preDispatch(\Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) {
if (!\Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getDispatcher()->isDispatchable($request)) {
$request->setModuleName($this->_eventRouter["module"]);
$request->setControllerName($this->_eventRouter["controller"]);
$request->setActionName($this->_eventRouter["action"]);
}
}
It feels like an ugly workaround, though... As Tim Fountain pointed out, my events are dynamic (I load them from a database), so I can't hardcode it. Also, my current implementation prevents me from having to hardcode every module/controller/action combination.
I'd just like to know if there's a way to avoid using a plugin.
EDIT²: I'm not doing that crappy plugin thing anymore. I figured out what was causing the router error. My routing definition did not have a valid default value for variable 'eventName'. My fix was:
$router->addRoute(
'eventName',
new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
'/:eventName',
array(
'module' => 'default',
'controller' => 'event',
'action' => 'detail',
'eventName' => ''
)
)
);
I am still unable to create routes with "conflicting" patterns, such as /admin and /:eventName. If only there was a way to make /admin override /:eventName...
Routes are applied/matched on a LIFO basis. As the routing docs note:
Note: Reverse Matching
Routes are matched in reverse order so make sure your most generic routes are defined first.
So, in order to have your "static" routes (static, in the sense that they do not pull from the db, /admin and the like) apply over your dynamic ones (/:eventName), make sure you define the static ones later in the execution flow.
In practical terms, this means that you cannot define your static routes during bootstrap, so you'll have to do it in a plugin with a routeStartup hook. Perhaps, two plugins: one for your dynamic routes, then another for the static ones, just make sure that the priority on the plugins is set so that the static ones are added later.
The error you are getting is probably coming from a URL helper call you have in your template. You need to specify the eventName param to this since you've made it required, e.g.:
Something
The answer to your other question depends a bit on whether you have a static, unchanging list of events or non-event URLs. You need to give the router a way to determine whether /foo is an event, or a controller. You do this by either hardcoding the possible events in to your event route, hardcoding routes for your other non-event URLs, or (if your events are dynamic and based on some database content) writing a custom route class for your event route which can do a lookup to see whether a given string is an event.
Since you are using Zend Framework 1.x
Here is the solution which I have added here : How to redirect Error Page and perform Routes in Zend Framework 1.x
Also, to make life easier... here it is:
I am still unable to create routes with "conflicting" patterns, such as /admin and /:eventName. If only there was a way to make /admin override /:eventName...
Once you are on the action which calls your eventName, you can put a check if that == admin, later you can define a re-route by specifying which action needs to be loaded, in that condition itself.
Simple? :)
define the eventName, and even if it's not required, just leave it blank.
I am trying to create short links to my application in codeigniter but I've met a kind of a problem when designing my route. The problem is that I want a route which will take a string containing a-Z and numbers and redirect that to a controller called image with the string after. Like this: app.com/randomstring -> app.com/image/randomstring. But when I am trying to do this in the routes config file with a regular expression it disables my application and I am unable to enter "normal" urls with controllers that already exist.
How my route looks like right now (I know it's probably very wrongly made):
$route['(^[A-Za-z0-9]+$)'] = "image/$1";
Is there any easy way to redirect with that short url without using another fake controller first like this: app.com/i/randomstring -> app.com/image/randomstring
And could you maybe help me improve and tell me what part of my regexp is failing?
As I mentioned in the comments, without a clearly defined spec on what the image urls will be, there's no comprehensive way to solve this. Even YouTube (related to the library you linked to) uses urls like /watch?v=h8skj3, where "watch" is the trigger.
Using a i/r4nd0m$tring would make this a non-issue, and it's what I suggest, but I had another idea:
$route['(:any)'] = "image/$1";
// Re-Route all valid controllers
foreach (array('users', 'login', 'blog', 'signup') as $controller)
{
$route[$controller] = $controller;
$route[$controller.'/(:any)'] = $controller.'/$1';
}
unset($controller);
You might need the image route last, I'm not 100% sure. This should route everything to image/ except the controllers you define. You could even use glob() or something to scan your controller directory for PHP files to populate the array.
Another way to get one character shorter than i/string could be to use a character trigger, like example.com/*randomstring, but that's a little silly, i/ is much cleaner and obviously, easier to deploy.
With CodeIgniter I'm trying to create a URL structure that uses a title string as the entire URI; so for example: www.example.com/this-is-a-title-string
I'm pretty confident I need to use the url_title() function in the URL Helper along with the routes.php config folder but I'm stuck bringing it all together.
Where do I define the URI and how is it caught by the routes folder?
Seems to be a straight forward problem but I'm getting stuck creating the URLs end-to-end. What am I missing?
I thought about a catch-all in the routes folder: $route['(.*)'] = "welcome/controller/$1"; ....but how would this work with multiple functions inside a particular controller? ...and maybe it's not even the right way to solve.
You can send all requests to a driver with something like this:
$route['(:any)'] = "welcome/function";
Then use the _remap function to route requests inside the controller.
However, using URL's as you suggest limits the CI functionality. Try something better like www.example.com/article/this-is-a-title-string
$route['article/(:any)'] = "articles/index";
and in article (controller), use _remap...
If you're going to re-route every request, you should extend CI_Router.
The actual implementation depends on what you're doing. If you customize CI_Router, you can do it AFTER the code that checks routes.php, so that you can keep routes.php available for future customization.
If the URI contains the controller, function, and parameters, you can parse it within your extended CI_Router and then continue with the request like normal.
If the URI is arbitrary, then you'll need something (file, db, etc) that maps the URI to the correct controller/function/parameters. Using blog posts as an example, you can search for the URI (aka post-slug in WordPress) in the db and grab the corresponding record. Then forward the request to something like "articles/view/ID".
