R – Zend Framework, mapping the extension of a URL to the format parameter

formatroutingzend-framework

It is possible to map the extension of a URL, to the format parameter in ZF?

I'd like the default routing to still work, including mapping parameters from the URI, so you'd be able to say:

http://example.com/controller/action/param1/value1/param2/value2.json

Here: $this->_getParam('format') => "json"

And likewise:

http://example.com/module/controller/action/param1/value1/param2/value2.xml

Here: $this->_getParam('format') => "xml"

I've fiddled with the default routes, but i cannot get it to work..

You could create a regex route, ending with something like (\w+)(.(\w+))? and capture the part after the . as the .3 capture. see Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex

The default controller is IndexController.

The (default) mapping works like this:

/ => IndexController::indexAction
/index => IndexController::indexAction
/index/foo => indexController::fooAction
/foo => FooController::indexAction

So, add a user defined route like this (will have lower priority than the default)

$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$router = $frontController->getRouter();
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
    '/:action',
    array(
        'controller' => 'index'
    )
);
$router->addRoute('user', $route);

This did not break my use of the default routes.

Edit: As coffeerings said in the comment, this will break the indexAction of non-default controllers.

R – Zend Framework: How to disable default routing

did you try adding a new route like

$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('*', array('controller'=>'error', 'module'=>'default', 'action'=>'error'));


$router->addRoute('default', $route);

You need to add this route first as it needs to be the last processed.
