Hi, I would like to use a route filter on pages with a certain template that, when that page is invisible, only shows the page when the user is logged in (some basic authentication which avoids direct access for “anonymous users” to invisible pages). But I can’t get it to work. I assume I cannot u…

I think the code has to go into a plugin file. Also, you have to run the router: <?php $router = new Router(); $router->register(array( array( 'pattern' => 'test', 'method' => 'GET', 'action' => function() { go('/'); } ) )); if($route = $router->…

Hi @texnixe , putting it in a plugin file is a must indeed (it doesn’t run from config.php) AND you have to run it. What does this do: if($route = $router->run())? Also; I noticed that I cannot return json from a custom router. Is this expected behaviour? return response::json(json_encode($data)); …

[image] bvdputte: What does this do: if($route = $router->run())? According to the code comments it “iterates through every route to find a matching route”.

Thanks. Have you seen: Also; I noticed that I cannot return json from a custom router. Is this expected behaviour? return response::json(json_encode($data)); works perfectly when added via c::set(“routes”), but not when copied into a new router instance. I am getting redirected to the home page a…

Yes, I’ve seen it but I have no answer, I’m afraid. I wonder if we really have to run a new router instance to be able to use filters, or if it isn’t possible using kirby()->routes() in a plugin file.

It seems like the “default” kirby router doesn’t support filtering, and the custom router doesn’t support to return json. This feels un-kirby to me :slight_smile: I hope a solution comes soon for this inconsistency - pretty please.

Custom routers do indeed support JSON responses: $router = new Router(); $router->register(array( array( 'pattern' => 'test', 'method' => 'GET', 'action' => function() { return response::json(['this' => ['is', 'a', 'test']]); } ) )); if($route …

Hi @lukasbestle , this indeed seems to work with JSON (on Kirby 2.5.4). But, then again, I have another route registered in the same router that should return a page (not JSON), and then your code doesn’t work for that scenario for me? Am I doing something wrong? Code: $router = new Router(); $rou…

Well, custom routers were originally meant to be used outside of the CMS (when using the Toolkit in completely custom projects that don’t involve the core). But many people use custom routers in plugins to have a bit more control over them. The issue with your example is that you don’t have an auth …
