I'm refactoring some routing in a project and I'm trying to retain the current path structure of the following...
/events <-- Works
/events/super-bowl <-- Works
/events/2012-super-bowl <-- Doesn't work! Archive Layout
/events/2012-super-bowl/detail-page <-- Doesn't work! Archive sub layout
/events/2018-super-bowl <-- Works. Standard Layout, no sub layout
This is what I have tried...
'router' => [
'routes' => [
'events' => [
'type' => 'literal',
'options' => [
'route' => '/events',
'defaults' => [
'controller' => 'events',
'action' => 'index',
],
],
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => [
'super-bowl' => [
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => [
'route' => '/super-bowl',
'defaults' => [
'action' => 'superBowl',
],
],
],
'super-bowl-archives' => [
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => [
'route' => '/[:year]-super-bowl[/:detail]',
'constraints' => [
'year' => '^(2012|2013|2014)',
],
'defaults' => [
'controller' => 'super-bowl-archives',
'action' => 'index',
],
],
],
'super-bowl-standard' => [
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => [
'route' => '/[:year]-super-bowl',
'constraints' => [
'year' => '\d{4}'
],
'defaults' => [
'controller' => 'super-bowl-standard',
'action' => 'index',
],
],
],
],
],
],
],
I'm struggling with the archive layouts. I'd like to capture certain years and point them to a different controller. The archives have a sub route as well that I'm not sure how to achieve.
There are two problems in that configuration.
Since the matching isn't completely regex based, the correct "pattern" for year is '2012|2013|2014'
According to Zend router documentation:
Routes will be queried in a LIFO order, and hence the reason behind the name RouteStack
Last route will be matched first. Since 2012 is matched with \d{4}, you have to first test those "exceptions".
Simply put super-bowl-archives route after super-bowl-standard and it'll work
