Re: Need help with reverse routing
Here's a generic element I use for pagination:

Perhaps you can modify that to your own needs. With Cake 2.x I've had
to make some changes to what I had been using. I suppose that I must
be doing something wrong that it requires the AppController snippet.
I think your route could be improved a bit:
Router::connect(
'/:state/:city/:page/:slug',
array(
'controller' = 'pages',
'action' = 'display',
'level' = 'town'
),
array(
'state' = '[a-z]{2}',
'city' = '[-a-z]+',
'page' = '[0-9]+',
'slug' = '[-a-z]+',
'pass' = array('page', 'slug')
)
);
I've added the slug to the URL, which allows you to pass it as an
action param. Otherwise, I'm not sure what good it would do you.
I've also made a better regex for state, and sluggified city -- a
name with a space or apostrophe would not match your regex. Because
you want the city name to appear in URLs, you'll need to store both
the display text and slug for each city.
As for what's being passing as params, personally, I would pass state,
city, and slug. I also think it's a bit odd that this is pointing to
PagesController. But then, I don't know the details so ...

I have a URL in the format - /state/city/page/slug which I route with -
Router::connect('/:state/:city/:page/*', array(
'controller' = 'pages', 'action' = 'display', 'level' = 'town'), array(
'state' = '[a-z][a-z]', 'city' = '[a-z]+', 'page' = '[^/]*', 'pass' =
array('page')));
That works fine in the forward direction, but how do I get the
PaginatorHelper to assemble the URL with the state and city pieces?
If I add another route for ajax requests, such as -
Router::connect('/ajax/:controller/:action/*');
That also works in the forward direction, but the URL generated by
PaginatorHelper in the previous case now generates the URL in the form -
/ajax/pages/display/...
So How do you tell the reverse routing which rule to use?
If I need to resort to a custom router, how do you tell the the Cake
rendering functions to use the custom router?
Thanks in advance
