Zend Framework 2: active menu items - php

Build navigation from config:
'navigation' => array(
'default' => array(
'admin' => array(
'label' => 'Administration',
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'index',
'route' => 'admin/default',
),
'album' => array(
'label' => 'Album',
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'index',
'route' => 'album/default',
),
/* ... */
Routing is configured like it is true. Navigation in the menu works. Links menu lead to the desired controller/action of the desired module. But while introducing menu and a transition to one or another menuitem, active marked both points simultaneously and 'Administration' and 'Album'. As I understand it, for the reason that match the names of controllers and actions with them, but there's still the 'route' and it's different... not for nothing that the generated different url for each item... but somehow, despite this, they both are marked as active.
Routing config:
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'admin' => array(
'type' => 'Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/admin',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Admin\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => array(
'default' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/[:controller][/:action[/id:id]]',
'constraints' => array(
'controller' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
),
),
),
Album routing config similar...
Why this is happening? Thanks.

Looks like it's how ZF2 works (read isActive() function in Zend\Navigation\Page\Mvc.php). Initially it checks matching of route/controller/action, but if it fails, ZF2 again check for just controller/action pair. So there are three possible ways:
Open a ticket at https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/issues and wait for response.
Override \Zend\Navigation\Page\Mvc.
Choose different names for controllers (and don't use index name because it's default name for controller in Mvc.php).

If you make your controller names include the the namespace then they will be unique and won't clash:
Admin\Controller\IndexController
Album\Controller\IndexController
Rather than
Index
Index

ZF2 - Language Routes

I need to create a router configuration in Zend Framework 2 like:
http://www.example.com/en
http://www.example.com/fr
http://www.example.com/es
Then the route of the modules like my "cms" module must match:
http://www.example.com/en/cms/test.html (english version)
http://www.example.com/fr/cms/test.html (french version)
http://www.example.com/es/cms/test.html (spanish version)
of course this link must match the english default language:
http://www.example.com/cms/test.html (english version)
I have already used the SimLocale without success because it doesn't handle the asset links as well. So I prefer to handle the language selection manually by a simple parameter for all my custom modules.
The question has been solved on #zftalk IRC today (thanks Michelangelo to contribute back based one what we explained to you...).
To solve the problem, we had to have a look at the defined routes:
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'language' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '[/:lang]',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Cms\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'page',
'lang' => 'en',
'slug' => 'homepage'
),
'constraints' => array(
'lang' => '[a-z]{2}'
)
),
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => array(
'list' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/cms',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Cms\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'index',
'page' => 1
),
),
),
'page' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '[/:slug].html',
'constraints' => array(
'slug' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
'action' => 'page',
),
),
),
'search' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/search/[query/:query]',
'constraints' => array(
'query' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
'action' => 'search',
'query' => null,
),
),
),
'paginator' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/list/[page/:page]',
'constraints' => array(
'page' => '[0-9]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
'page' => 1,
),
),
),
),
),
Then, the updated description of the problem was the following:
mikunos: http://www.example.com/en (homepage) this is ok
mikunos: http://www.example.com/en/cms (cms list) this is ok
mikunos: http://www.example.com/en/cms/about.html (page) this not
Which have led us on changing the 'page' route as a child route of 'list' (/cms).
Then the discussion finished with indications on what to do to setup the default language if none have been selected:
mikunos: as you have seen I need two main routes
mikunos: the first one is /lang/module and the second one is /module
mikunos: so I have to create two branches
mikunos: right?
tdutrion: you may want to use an url rewriting or something here
tdutrion: I would go for a redirect 301 from /module to /en/module so you have no duplicate content
tdutrion: and then no route can be accessed without a language
mikunos: ok
tdutrion: you can do it different ways, but I think the best one would be creating a event listener and do that before routing
tdutrion: you can also do it in your .htaccess of you are using apache, but then what if you migrate to IIS or Ngnix or else...
mikunos: interesting
tdutrion: again I believe Jurian Sluiman’s code does that
You can use subdomains for each language you need witch I suppose you don't want or you really don't need (eg. /en) to change the language of your application and/or web site. Is mandatory to use /en, /fr, etc.?

How to get params in action in ZendFramework 2?

I have configured a route in my module.config.php to handle two parameters ,
here is the content of the file module.config.php , i put just the definition of the routes ( same routes ) :
updated :
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'Products' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/application/admin/products[/:id]',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Admin',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
'productsList' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/application/products/productsList[/:type][/:id]',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Products',
'action' => 'productsList'
),
),
),
'Emplacement' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/application/support/listeEmplacementsSupport[/:pkSupport]',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Support',
'action' => 'listeEmplacementsSupport',
),
),
),
'application' => array(
'type' => 'Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/application',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => array(
'default' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/[:controller[/:action[/:id][/:dr]]]',
'constraints' => array(
'controller' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
),
),
),
),
),
),
),
And I build a link in the view using the following
<a href="/application/products/productsList/mandan/<?php echo $coreg['idProduct']; ?>" >
<img height='20' src="/img/mail-recevoir-32.png" alt='products' />
</a>
To get one parameter I use
$param = $this->params('id');
Routes are matched in the 'Last in first out' LIFO order.
The relevant section of the documentation states:
Typically, routes should be queried in a LIFO order, and hence the reason behind the name RouteStack. [...] you will need to ensure that routes that potentially overlap are registered such that the most specific match will match first (i.e., register later)
Therefore based on you current configuration, as all the routes are register at the top level, the last route (application/default) is being checked and then subsequently matched first, before the productList is given a chance.
Also because application/default defines an optional id parameter as the first argument this is the reason that you get the value of the type param when using $this->params('id').
Soultion
The easiest solution is just to reorder the routes; moving the application route right to the top of the definition should work.
The order should be the following
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'application' => array(
// .. same
'child_routes' => array(
'default' => array(
// .. Same
),
),
),
'Products' => array(
// ..same
),
'productsList' => array(
// ..same
),
'Emplacement' => array(
// ..config
),
),
),
You could alternatively give each route a priority, regardless of the order, however I think It would make more sense to keep them in a natural order to save confusion in the future.
While I'm here
I mentioned in my comment you incorrectly used a Literal route rather than a Segment. You have this same issue with the the Products route definition. If a route is literal it will only match on the exact value (so you would need /[:id] in the URL).
/application/admin/products[/:id]
Therefore you will also need to update this route to a segment in order for the product id to be regarded as a parameter.
Lastly, there is a easier way of constructing URL's in the view, using the URL view helper. Your view script code would be changed to
<?php
$type = 'mandan';
$id = $coreg['idProduct'];
?>
<a href="<?php echo $this->url('productsList', compact('type', 'id')); ?>">
<img height='20' src="/img/mail-recevoir-32.png" alt='products' />
</a>

Render header with /abc/abc/abc php

I have experience with php but i'm new to the zend frameworks. Could some one please give me some leads as to how I can get a site to work ie- www.facebook.com/nathandoe/photos
.
Using controllers how can i create a function that accepts different names and direct it that page ?
if i have a site www.hello.com/profile
instead of using GET www.hello.com/profile?is=342342?photos
how to handle it as www.hello.com/profile/342342/photos
i have controllers that handle the index and i know how to create different functions .. im stuck with www.hello.com/profile/xxxxxxxx/photos that part
In your module/[Module Name]/config/module.config.php, you can set the routes.
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'album' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/album[/:action][/:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Album\Controller\Album',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
),
),
Something like
'route' => '/profile/[/:id]/photos',

Redirecting for child routes in ZF2 throws an error

I've have an problem to redirect on child routes in zend framework 2. I can access the controller and action but while redirecting it throws me an error missing parameter "id".
'admin' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/admin[/][:action][/:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Admin\Controller\Admin',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => array(
'settings' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'may_terminate' => true,
'options' => array(
'route' => '/general[/][:action][/][:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Admin\Controller\Settings\General',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
),
),
I have given redirect to route like below,
return $this->redirect()->toRoute('admin/settings');
But it throws an error,
Missing parameter "id"
as the error message implies you need to add the "id" parameter. You can redirect with a parameter like so.
return $this->redirect()->toRoute('admin', array('action'=>'settings', 'id' => $id));
You did not show us your Controller action's but I assume 'settings' is a action within your admin module.
At this point I cannot really see what kind of id the admin/settings function need's might aswell just try to add a 0 or 1 to try the route at first for testing purposes.
The route matching method doesn't seem to 'consume' the parent node of the route.
Changing the child route to include the /admin part of the grammar to
/admin/settings/general[/][:action][/][:id]
or
/admin/settings[/][:action][/][:id]
should allow $this->redirect()->toRoute('admin/settings'); to work.

Zend Framework 2 Routing subdomains to module

After searching a long time with no success.
before I give up, I would like to ask:
Is there a way to route a subdomain to a module in Zend Framework 2? like:
Subdomain => Module
api.site.com => api
dev.site.com => dev
admin.site.com => admin
site.com => public
...
I tried doing it like this but I can't get access to controllers other than the default (Index).
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'home' => array(
'type' => 'Hostname',
'options' => array(
'route' => 'site.com',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
)
)
),
),
Thank you for taking the time to help me.
Zend Framework 2 doesn't have a notion of routing to modules; all routing mappings are between a URI pattern (for HTTP routes) and a specific controller class. That said, Zend\Mvc provides an event listener (Zend\Mvc\ModuleRouteListener) which allows you to define a URI pattern that maps to multiple controllers based on a given pattern, and so emulates "module routing". To define such a route, you would place this as your routing configuration:
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
// This defines the hostname route which forms the base
// of each "child" route
'home' => array(
'type' => 'Hostname',
'options' => array(
'route' => 'site.com',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => array(
// This Segment route captures the requested controller
// and action from the URI and, through ModuleRouteListener,
// selects the correct controller class to use
'default' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/[:controller[/:action]]',
'constraints' => array(
'controller' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
),
),
),
),
(Click here to see an example of this # ZendSkeletonApplication)
This is only half of the equation, though. You must also register every controller class in your module using a specific naming format. This is also done through the same configuration file:
'controllers' => array(
'invokables' => array(
'Application\Controller\Index' => 'Application\Controller\IndexController'
),
),
The array key is the alias ModuleRouteListener will use to find the right controller, and it must be in the following format:
<Namespace>\<Controller>\<Action>
The value assigned to this array key is the fully-qualified name of the controller class.
(Click here to see an example of this # ZendSkeletonApplication)
NOTE: IF you aren't using ZendSkeletonApplication, or have removed it's default Application module, you will need to register the ModuleRouteListener in one of your own modules. Click here to see an example of how ZendSkeletonApplication registers this listener
If i understand slide #39 of DASPRIDS Rounter Presentation correctly, it's as simple as - on a per module basis - to define your subdomain hosts, i.e.:
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'home' => array(
'type' => 'Hostname',
'options' => array(
'route' => 'api.site.com',
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Api\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
)
)
),
),
Etc, you'd do this for every Module on its own.
