I'm having some issues with getting modules to load via their _root_
For example, let's say I have the module "testing".
This module contains a routes configuration that says:
<?php
return array(
'_root_' => 'dashboard/index', // The default route
'_404_' => 'dashboard/404', // The main 404 route
);
When I visit mysite.com/testing/dashboard -- everything works fine.
But when I visit mysite.com/testing , the default route for that module is not loaded.
Am I doing something wrong here?
So more or less, there's no way to make "testing" run completely out of the module? The only other solutions I can think of are:
- Routing it from the application
- Creating a separate controller from within the application that redirects to testing/dashboard
All of which require application modification, rather than module-only.
Afaik there is no per-module default root or 404 route supported.
Those routes are global and not used as part of the routing process. _root_ is only used if there are no URI segments present (which is always the case when referring to a module. _404_ only if no route can be matched.
I'm not sure if you would specify 'testing/does/not/exist', if the global or the module 404 would be used (would be interesting to document this).
I think if you only specify the module name in the URI, it will look for a controller with the same name as the module. So 'testing' will become 'testing/testing/index'.
Basically, I'm just trying to run a sub-application that utilizes a lot of the primary application.
So it would run the same way as if I had fuel installed in a /testing/ directory, and the _root_ would be pulled up as the default controller.
When looking at http://fuelphp.com/docs/general/modules.html#module_routing , it says that a routes configuration can be placed in each module
So when I utilize the module "testing", wouldn't site.com/testing utilize that route configuration?
Because the router only uses _root_ if there are no URI segments present (= when you actually do request the server root).
When you request http://www.example.org/testing, you're not requesting the root, you have one URI segment, 'testing'.
