This seems like something that should be easy to do, but I can't figure it
out, and I haven't had any luck with forum searches. I want to set up the
following routing structure:
/ : controller => RootController, action => index
/about : controller => RootController, action => about
/contact : controller => RootController, action => contact
/blog : controller => BlogController, action => index
/blog/recent : controller => BlogController, action => recent
/blog/archive/year/2007 : controller => BlogController, action => archive,
params => {year => 2007}
Basically, if the first element of the path is a valid controller, then the
request should be dispatched to that controller. If not, it should be
dispatched to RootController. I want to make adding a static page as simple
as possible, so I'm overriding RootController::__call() to render view
scripts based on the action name. With that in mind, I don't want to use
static routes; I should just be able to drop a view script in the right
directory, and the new page will be accessible.
It just feels like I'm missing something about the standard routing, because
I imagine this is a common routing pattern. Extending the ZF routing
classes seems excessive. I guess I could catch EXCEPTION_NO_CONTROLLER in
my ErrorController, and then forward the request to RootController, but
again, that seems excessive.
Thanks for your help.
