Routing task list

[cmfcmf]

Ready to be implemented

• Implement http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/routing/redirect_trailing_slash.html
• Maybe add a new symfony route smarty plugin @craigh
• Add final documentation on routing. Useful resources:
  • https://github.com/zikula/core/pull/1518/files
  • Make controller resolving working, added example routes to ZikulaUsersModule and AcmeExampleModule #1519

To be discussed

• Think about themes

  Use case one: See a news list in RSS is done by adding &theme=rss. This is easily replacable by using /my/cool/route.rss instead.
  -- @cmfcmf
  This is how Symfony handles those cases: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/templating.html#template-formats - we know the &theme= thing for these cases is a terrible hack and actually unworkable in most cases where the controller doesnt actually return that format.
  -- @Drak
  another use case: theme=printer
  -- @craigh

Themes will work as before and if needed be activated by adding the theme parameter just as before.

Is there such a thing as multi-lingual routing? All your current routes are in English; are these translatable somehow? A German site might rather have /eintragen instead of /login (guessing here based on Google translate 😉 ) Are the routes configurable? In the Extensions module, the module url was configurable by the admin, will that still be possible somehow? Can all the routes be configurable at a site level by an end user? (maybe you answered these questions somewhere already? 😀 )

Just collecting some interesting links:

• http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/session/locale_sticky_session.html
• http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/translation.html#book-translation-locale-url
• https://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSI18nRoutingBundle
• http://jmsyst.com/bundles/JMSI18nRoutingBundle/master/configuration

The JMSI18nRoutingBundle seems interesting. However it will not work with the CmfRoutingBundle currently used, but BTW I start thinking that we do not need the CmfRoutingBundle (as routes aren't loaded from database as I intended when I added it). I will have to look into this.

@cmfcmf The difficulty is a lot of these things use configurations which are hard compiled. We are database driven and many of the configurations are are from the database. The container is usually frozen (if you think about it, it has to be to maintain integrity), but yet we would want to load certain configurations from the database to affect the container. (I did start work on something to make that work but it's fraught with issues).

I don't understand what you mean.

[craigh]

added task to implement _FOSJsRoutingBundle_

[cmfcmf]

I'm going to split this issue up into sub-topic-issues, if you don't mind?

[craigh]

if you don't mind?

me? of course not. let me know if there is something I need to do.

Closing in favour of the sub issues.
