Director::AddRules
30 September 2011 at 6:25pm Last edited: 30 September 2011 6:27pm
My apologies if this is already explained somewhere, but I have tried to find the solution but to no avail.
I am trying to extend the URL params that are allowed for a particular controller on a new site I am building
http://domainname.local/my-zone/body/calendar/10/2011/
http://domainname.local/pagename/$Action/$ID/$OtherID/?/This leaves me one parameter short and rather than just use a ?year=2011 I wanted to learn how to add another parameter to the URL.
In this set up my-zone is a page and so is body.
Body has a pagetype of WeighIn and calendar is a method on the WeighIn_Controller
I have tried adding the Rule to Director in a number of different ways but no luck, so I guess my understanding of it is completely wrong. Would appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Colin/mysite/_config.php
Director::addRules(100, array('/my-zone//$Action/$ID/$OtherID/$Year'=>'WeighIn_Controller'));
/mysite/WeighIn.php
<?php
class WeighIn extends Page {
public static $db = array(
);public static $has_one = array(
);static $icon = "/themes/dd/images/treeicons/user_orange";
}
class WeighIn_Controller extends Page_Controller {public static $allowed_actions = array (
'entry',
'addentry',
'saveentry',
'calendar',
'list'
);public function init() {
parent::init();
}/***************************************
* Add Weigh In Point
*/
function addentry() {
// form code
}function saveentry($data, $form) {
// Save code
}/* draws a calendar */
function draw_calendar($month,$year){// code to draw calendar
}
function CalendarHTML($month = null, $year = null) {
echo "Year = ".Director::urlParam('Year')."<hr/>";
echo "Action = ".Director::urlParam('Action')."<hr/>";
echo "ID = ".Director::urlParam('ID')."<hr/>";
echo "OtherID = ".Director::urlParam('OtherID')."<hr/>";if($month === null){
$month = date("n");
}
if($year === null){
$year = date("Y");
}return $this->draw_calendar($month, $year);
}
}

It doesn't look like you've built a function to handle the $Action. For example,
http://domainname.local/my-zone/body/calendar/10/2011 => pagename//$Action/$Type/$Month/$Year
( I think you need to remove the slash at the beginning of the url route )public function body() {
this 'body' function is matched with the $Action in the url route.
then inside this function you can use the rest of the url parameters to bring up a calendar set to the $Month and $Year.

Opps sorry Ryan I see my mistake in the question.
There is a page called "my-zone" and then a subpage with a PageType of WeighIn which is called Body.
So where I typed
http://domainname.local/my-zone/body/calendar/10/2011/
http://domainname.local/pagename/$Action/$ID/$OtherID/?/it should have been
http://domainname.local/my-zone/body/calendar/10/2011/
http://domainname.local/pagename/subpagename/$Action/$ID/$OtherID/?/So I have a template named WeighIn_calendar.ss and this is all working correctly, just trying add in a new parameter that I can access. Obviously I could just use the query string, but I am just trying to learn how to do it without the query string
I will take a look at the link you sent for SSBITS.
Thanks for your help, hopefully this makes it a little clearer

You won't need to mess around with Director::addRules for that, $url_handlers on your page_controller can give names to more params.
Mark Rickerby (@maetl) has a good guide to URL handling in SilverStripe - http://maetl.net/silverstripe-url-handling.

Thanks Willr & Ryan M,
I now have it all sorted. One of my issues was that I was trying use the template WeighIn_calendar.ss and therefor there wasn't necessarily a calendar() method.
So in the end this is the code I have if anyone else is looking
public static $url_handlers = array(
'calendar/$Type/$Month/$Year' => 'calendar',);
...
function calendar($request) {
$month = $request->param('Month');
$year = $request->param('Year');
$type = $request->param('Type');if($type == 'calendar'){
return $this->draw_month_calendar($month, $year);
}elseif($type == 'list'){
return $this->draw_month_list($month, $year);
}}
