Please can somebody help me get started with routing? I tried the documentation, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I have this code

class Brand extends DataObject {
static $db = array("Name" => "VarChar(200)");
static $has_many = array("Products" => "Product");
}

class Brand_Controller extends Controller
{
static $allowed_actions = array('test');
	public function test($request)
	{
	return $this->renderWith('Page');
	}
}

I would expect this to create a page at www.mysite.com/brand/test but I just get a 404. What am I missing?

Hi,

Your code would create a page at www.mysite.com/Brand_Controller/test. To tell SilverStripe that 'brand' should route to your Brand_Controller, you need to add a route for it. See here for an example (assuming you're using 3.1): http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/controller

Ok, that figures. I ended up using DataObject::get from a page class anyway, but useful for future ref.
