Re: Best way to have dynamic actions

2009-06-16 Thread Andreas

Hi Steve,
why dont you just pass the group_id as a parameter to the index action? 
Like:
www.mydomain.com/videos/index/groupname2

 What I mean by dynamic actions is that many actions like /posts/
 index/, /videos/index/, are all dependent on the variable group_id.
 In other words, those actions are only supposed to list all posts,
 videos, etc belonging to a specific group.

 What's the best way to do this so the URLs are consistent?

 I would think that doing something like this is a good approach. :
 www.mydomain.com/group/groupname1/posts/index/
 www.mydomain.com/group/groupname1/videos/index/
 www.mydomain.com/group/groupname2/posts/index/
 www.mydomain.com/group/groupname3/posts/index/

 This would require some modication of routes.php ... it would also be
 great if the following link would act as a dashboard for the
 particular group: www.mydomain.com/group/groupname1/posts/index/

 Any other suggestions?

Ya, that's what I'm doing now, but it just seems like a pain to keep
track of it and make sure the menus are consistent based on the group
parameter. The other option was keeping it in a session, but that
creates a problem with not having direct access to a resource through
a url itself.
