Arguments

[MattRock]

This may be a silly question, but I am curious about passing arguments in the URL. I have a controller called "controller."  I pass an argument to the controller in the URL by pasing the URL as "/controller?argument". I would like to pass the argument Pyramid style as "/controller/argument."

Is this possible to do with TG2?  Can this be done and still have additional defined actions in the BaseController [I.E. /controller/action]? 

I know I could probably do this with rewrite, but I would like to keep this in the application if possible.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,
MattRock

Each argument found after the first found exposed method is treated as
an argument to the method itself.
So you can write /controller/arg1v/arg2v/arg3v instead of
/controller?arg1=arg1v&arg2=arg2v&arg3=arg3v the two are equivalent.

Just pay attention to the index method.
When called as /index/1/2/3 everything works, but to achieve /1/2/3
you will need to use _default instead of index.

Exactly the information I was seeking, thank you. It works as desired.
