How to "take control" of "subroutes"?

[Bruno Reis]

Hi, 

I'm creating a content type that is, in fact, an app module. Or an app module container. I want the user to be able to insert it under any place he wants in the site. And I want to create routes relative to that "basepath". Let's say I have

www.mysite.com

then I create a /2013_budget content, so I can access it using: 

www.mysite.com/2013_budget

Now I want my controller/router to receive requests to urls like: 

www.mysite.com/2013_budget/234/add

Is it possible? Probably yes. But, what is a good way to achieve it?

hi bruno,

1)
a cmf route allows you to store the "variablePattern" which would mean
you can place that route at /cms/routes/2013_budget with a variable
pattern {id}/{action} and requiements and defaults on id and action. the
only drawback would be that all actions would go to the same controller
action.
you could then use a custom route enhancer to change the controller
based on whether the id is present and based on the action. see
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cmf/components/routing/dynamic.html#route-enhancers

2)
another option could be to have your code generate a
/cms/routes/2013_budget route, and then one at
/cms/routes/2013_budget/add and use RoutingAutoBundle to generate an
explicit route object for each item.

3)
with the phpcr-odm, you can't have more than one route with the same
non-variable path, so having rest-ful routes for adding, editing and
deleting would not work. (eg. having 3 routes at
/cms/routes/2013_budget/234 , one for POST, one for PUT, one for DELETE).
with the orm you have more flexibility in this case as it would allow
this. or also prefix: /cms/routes/2013_buget , variable: /{id}/add and
another one with /{id}/edit

4)
yet another option could be to have your own route provider that checks
if such a app route is in the candidate collection, and adds the needed
routes to the collection. see
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cmf/components/routing/nested_matcher.html

i hope this helps. imho 1 and 4 are your best options for this scenario.
you will have to dig through the cmf routing process but it should be
able to solve your situation rather elegantly.
