How is it possible to combine routing, variables and multi language support

The CMS Questions

I’ve implemented a routing for a special page. It’s important for the rendering to get the two variables.

c::set('routes', array(
  array(
    'pattern' => 'blog/events/archiv/(:any)/(:any)',
    'action'  => function($yearInfo, $monthInfo) {
		
		$data = array('year' => $yearInfo, 'month'=>$monthInfo);
		return array('blog/events/archiv', $data);
		
    }
  )
));

Now I tried to combine it with multi language support like this:

c::set('routes', array(
  array(
    'pattern' => 'my/pattern',
    'action' => function () {
      return site()->visit('some/page', 'en');
    }
  )
));

How is it possible to combine both. Means multi language support and variables to the controller? Maybe the full syntax of $site->visit() helps?

Untested, but this should work:

c::set('routes', array(
  array(
    'pattern' => 'blog/events/archiv/(:any)/(:any)',
    'action'  => function($yearInfo, $monthInfo) {
		
		site()->visit('blog/events/archiv', 'en');
		
		$data = array('year' => $yearInfo, 'month'=>$monthInfo);
		return array('blog/events/archiv', $data);
		
    }
  )
));

site()->visit() returns the Page object, but you don’t have to return it from your route if you need another response.

This works.

Thanks for fast reply, @lukasbestle !

Maybe add this to the docs?

Yes, I think so too. I will do this later today.

Edit: Now part of the routing docs.

If you set the site->visit() called as the first argument of the array also works in order to get a shorter code

...
$data = array('year' => $yearInfo, 'month'=>$monthInfo);
return array(site()->visit('blog/events/archiv', 'en'), $data);
