David, I think you need to disavow the assumptions in terms of how things are routed and write your own routes for things you need. This will help reduce confusion on how to specify requests from the URL. Documentation on how to do this can be found on the same page:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.router.html#zend.controller.router.routes You can make it cleaner by defining routes in an XML config file. But, the short of it is continue reading and you'll get a better idea of how to implement routes in ZF. -- Chris Weldon On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 10:56 AM, dbroderick <[email protected]> wrote: > > using ZF 1.7.3 and module/controller/action configuration > > The current default routing behavior in Zend Framework is as stated in the > documentation: > > "10.5.4.
