URL link for custom module

[rosuandreimihai]

Hi all,

 

I am currently developing a custom module.

What I want is to have a nice URL, because right now it looks like this:

domain.com/flower-deliveries?city=Hamburg&id_country=1&country=Germany

I already added a new page to link to the custom module, the page name is flower-deliveries, but still I have the parameters that I have to "hide".

Instead, of that link above I would like a URL like this:

domain.com/flower-deliveries-Hamburg-Germany.html

Can it be done? If yes, how? I've tried with .htaccess, like this. but with no luck..

RewriteRule ^flower-deliveries-([^-]*)-([^-]*)-([^-]*)\.html$ /flower-deliveries?city=$1&id_country=$2&country=$3 [L]

It is not how it should be done, take a look at a moduleRoutes hook in Dispatcher.php

Hi again,

 

I tried 2 methods, but none of them worked..

The first one, was to add a hookModuleRoutes in my controller, just like below:

public function hookModuleRoutes($params)
    {
        return array(
            'module-vpages-dpage' => array(
                'controller' => 'dpage',
                'rule' => 'flower-deliveries{/:id_country}{/:country}{/:city}',
                'keywords' => array(
                    'id_country' => array('regexp' => '[_a-zA-Z0-9_-]+', 'param' => 'id_country'),
                    'city' => array('regexp' => '[\w]+', 'param' => 'city'),
                    'country' => array('regexp' => '[\w]+', 'param' => 'country')
                ),
                'params' => array(
                    'fc' => 'module',
                    'module' => 'vpages',
                    'controller' => 'dpage'
                )
            )
        );      
    }

And then, in the controllers install:

$this->registerHook('moduleRoutes');

That didn't worked, so I tried to override the Dispatcher class, by adding a custom module route:

        'module-vpages-dpage' => array(
            'controller' => 'dpage',
            'rule' => 'flower-deliveries{/:setCountry}{/:id_country}{/:country}{/:city}',
            'keywords' => array(
                'setCountry' => array('regexp' => '[0-9]+', 'param' => 'setCountry'),
                'id_country' => array('regexp' => '[0-9]+', 'param' => 'id_country'),
                'city' => array('regexp' => '[\w]+', 'param' => 'city'),
                'country' => array('regexp' => '[\w]+', 'param' => 'country'),
            ),
            'params' => array(
                'fc' => 'module',
                'module' => 'vpages',
                'controller' => 'dpage'
            )
        ),

When using that custom rule, the link http://europeanflora.com/flower-deliveries?module_action=list&id_country=44&country=Argentina&setCountry=44 was tranformed in http://europeanflora.com/flower-deliveries?module_action=list and it didn't worked and was redirecting me to the first page.

Could some one tell me what am I doing wrong?

 

I've spent hours of reading how it should be done and it should be just like the ones above..

 

Thank you!
