Personally I don't necessarily follow the idea of keeping all your actions
"RESTful". If you were building a rest API then sure, but sometimes you need
to get things done.
That being said, this can still be done with a executeIndex action. Just
check within it for "group by" parameters:
public function executeIndex (sfWebRequest $request)
{
if ($request->hasParameter('group_by')
{
$this->issues_to_display = IssuesPeer::getIssuesByStatus();
}
else
{
$this->issues_to_display = IssuesPeer::getIssues();
}
}
I am being deliberately obvious here just to make the example clear. You can
pass criteria instead or any number of ways.
