Hi, Is it possible to have routing determined (more or less) at runtime? I'm thinking that in a CMS-type app, a user might want to choose what a route maps to: say to a gallery action or an events calendar action. Each of these actions could have different sub-routes. Static-ly, I would do it something like (non-working example):
<route pattern="^(galname:\S+/" name="gallery" module="gallery"> <route pattern="^$" name=".index" action="Index" /> </route> <route pattern="^(eventname:\S+)/" name="events" module="events"> <route pattern="^$" name=".index" action="Index" /> <route pattern="^edit/$" name=".edit" action="Edit" /> </route> The issue with the above example is that the "gallery" route would always be matched, and the "events" one would not. I need some way to dynamically choose at runtime which one. A few ideas: - Have a callback in each route. The callback would query the database (and possibly cache the result) to see if the current route should match. - Use a modified routing class. I'm not sure quite how to modify it though. - Dynamically generate routing.xml itself. This could either be on every request (somehow?), or just when a user makes a change. - Don't really use routing.xml at all: have a "catch all" route that maps to a "Control" action, that then processes the URL and forwards to the correct action. I'm not sure in which direction to go. Any suggestions? Michal. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.agavi.org/mailman/listinfo/users
