Hi, I'm working on module, which purpose is manage recipes. I want to use pretty url's of course. For showing detail of recipe I want to use the url looks like "/recipe/the-title-of-recipe". My question is how to achieve this kind of url in my module? I'm research the knowledge of that in News module, and I saw that:

Code: Select all

$route = new CmsRoute('/[nN]ews\/(?P<articleid>[0-9]+)\/(?P<returnid>[0-9]+)\/(?P<junk>.*?)\/d,(?P<detailtemplate>.*?)$/',
			  $this->GetName());
    cms_route_manager::add_static($route);

So I decided do it in my module like that:

Code: Select all

$route = new CmsRoute('/recipe\/(?P<recipeurl>.*?)\/(?P<returnid>[0-9]+)$/', $this->GetName());
        cms_route_manager::add_static($route);

It works fine, and for getting url like this:

Code: Select all

/recipe/the-title-of-recipe/57

I'm using this code

Code: Select all

$this->CreateLink($id, 'recipe_view', $returnid, '', array('recipe_id' => $recipe['id']), '', true, false, '', true, 'recipe/'.$recipe['url'].'/'.$returnid);

I think, this is very similar with method used in News module, but not works properly.

When I open this url it shows only this action content without template, but news module shows action content with template.

What is wrong?

CMSMS Needs to somehow know the page id (or the returnid) (and therefore the page template) to display. That's why the code below includes a <returnid> in the regular expression.

If you do not have a returnid in the route, then you have to get one from somewhere. Usually this is done with a preference in the modules admin console, with a fallback to the 'default' page id.

Thanks for your reply but the returnid is present in the url, the value of that is "57"

Then the problem is probably with the regular expression. .*? will probably match any character, including a / ... so you will either need to re-order the regular expression to put the integer values first, or play with the .*? stuff. I am no regex god.

Ok, the problem is my fault. But is there a way to prevent showing returnid param in the pretty url in cmsms?
