Making a page accessable from multiple URLs

26 November 2012 at 7:17am
I need to make a pagetype accessable from multiple URLs. Am I better off trying overload the Director to search anotehr field or to create a custom redirector page that doesn't show up in the sitetree and create it in the onBEforeWrite of the original page? Background: its for a real estate site. I'd like propoerties to be available from the address mysite.com/123-main-st-townsville and the MLS number mysite.com/R4322
The rederector is an easier solution to code, but I'm wondering about perfomance since it essentially doubles teh size of my site tree.

You could create a custom handleAction function on your HomePage_Controller to do the lookup for a matching Property, return a redirect rather than the normal handleAction and fall back to parent::handleAction(). Can't find too many examples in the docs but you should checkout Controller.php and ContentControlller.php's handleAction to get an idea of what you need
HomePage_Controller {
function handleAction($request) {
check to see if $Action matches a listing..
if matches redirect ($this->redirect(..)
else
parent::handleAction($request);

Overlaoding handleAction and handleRequest doesn't seem to give access to the $URLSegment Section.
I started digging back thorugh the controller and found that if I ReWrite the getNestedController in ModelAsAdmin it works how I need (not ideal) and just extending ModelAdmin and overriding it with Director::addRules seems to kill the hompage redirecthere is my getNestedController to give you an idea of what I'm trying to acheive.
public function getNestedController() {
$request = $this->request;
if(!$URLSegment = $request->param('URLSegment')) {
throw new Exception('ModelAsController->getNestedController(): was not passed a URLSegment value.');
}
// Find page by link, regardless of current locale settings
if(class_exists('Translatable')) Translatable::disable_locale_filter();
$listing = DataObject::get_one('Listing', "MLS = '$URLSegment'");
if($listing){
$URLSegment = $listing->URLSegment;
}
$sitetree = DataObject::get_one(
'SiteTree',
sprintf(
'"URLSegment" = \'%s\' %s',
Convert::raw2sql(rawurlencode($URLSegment)),
(SiteTree::nested_urls() ? 'AND "ParentID" = 0' : null)
)
);
if(class_exists('Translatable')) Translatable::enable_locale_filter();
if(!$sitetree) {
// If a root page has been renamed, redirect to the new location.
// See ContentController->handleRequest() for similiar logic.
$redirect = self::find_old_page($URLSegment);
if($redirect) {
$params = $request->getVars();
if(isset($params['url'])) unset($params['url']);
$this->response = new SS_HTTPResponse();
$this->response->redirect(
Controller::join_links(
$redirect->Link(
Controller::join_links(
$request->param('Action'),
$request->param('ID'),
$request->param('OtherID')
)
),
// Needs to be in separate join links to avoid urlencoding
($params) ? '?' . http_build_query($params) : null
),
301
);
return $this->response;
}
if($response = ErrorPage::response_for(404)) {
return $response;
} else {
$this->httpError(404, 'The requested page could not be found.');
}
}
// Enforce current locale setting to the loaded SiteTree object
if(class_exists('Translatable') && $sitetree->Locale) Translatable::set_current_locale($sitetree->Locale);
if(isset($_REQUEST['debug'])) {
Debug::message("Using record #$sitetree->ID of type $sitetree->class with link {$sitetree->Link()}");
}
return self::controller_for($sitetree, $this->request->param('Action'));
