Removing custom module index page ?

Wednesday 15 July 2009 1:33:08 am

Say you make a custom module named "custom" with starting page "index.php" and with params "contentNodeID"

In module.php you would have :

$ViewList['index'] = array( 'script' => 'index.php',
'params' => array( 'contentNodeID' ));

In this case the page url would be : "domaine/custom/index/39483"

Then i want to remove "index" from the url like this :

$ViewList[''] = array( 'script' => 'index.php',
'params' => array( 'contentNodeID' ));

In this case the page url should be : "domaine/custom/39483"

The problem is that due to the contentNodeID param this syntax causes an error.

In fact it works if you just hit : "domaine/custom/" but not with the param.

Is there something i am missing to have this syntax working with module params ?

I hope my description is clear enough. Cheers. M

This technique allow to make compact module adresses by removing the second element in module's view uri.

But my exemple is not only for a "one view module" but to define a module "index" page...after $ViewList[''] you can add $ViewList['myview'].

The second benefit of defining this "empty" view is that people playing with their browser address won't arrive on a "undefined view" error when removing module's view name from the address.

I wasn't aware of your technique, i am gonna try it right away.

Thanx

I tried andre's way and its perfect for what i need...the only problem is that you can't add new module views to the module after that.

I thought about using url_translation module, i am gonna test it to see if it works with wildcards.
