Routes should be defined in a bootstrap or in a routeStartup() of a front controller plugin. When the dispatch loop reaches the controller, the router has already been invoked so any rules you add inside controllers are useless (they can still be used to generate URLs in the controller and view, but without the corresponding routing rule the URLs generated would probably lead to nowhere unless the said rule is a subset of an existing rule or the default one).
Module-specific rules are impossible for the same reason. The closest thing to such a thing is to have rules defined in module bootstraps which are loaded in every request. They are not really module-specific rules though, but merely routing rules that are organized per module. I do exactly that in http://code.google.com/p/mz-project/ . -- Mon On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 8:33 PM, vadim gavrilov <vadim...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks i already looked at those files.
