Hi!
I have a structure field, where panel users can set category names for different categories (“pools”) to give each subpage of a page a category (the story behind that approach is another).
I then hook-update the structure field and create a slug entry (“poolUrl”) out of the category’s name (“displayName”) (see screenshot):
'page.update:after' => function($page) {
if($page->resultPools()->exists()){
$resultPools = $page->resultPools()->yaml();
foreach($resultPools as &$resultPool) {
$resultPool["poolurl"] = strtolower(preg_replace('/[\W\s\/]+/', '-', $resultPool["displayname"]));
}
$page->update([
'resultPools' => Data::encode($resultPools, "yaml")
]);
}
}
My goal now is to create a route/virtual subpage where all of these automatically generated slugs redirect to the same page (“results.php”) or error page. On this page I would need the typed in slug as a value I can use as a variable.
So basically something like:
'pattern' => 'results/(:any)',
'action' => function () {
return new Page([
'slug' => 'results/ (or something?)', // <-- Hmmm, couldn't figure out what this does (despite studying the reference a lot)
'template' => 'results',
'content' => [
'slug' => 'slug' // <-- the typed in slug/url which I can use on the results.php to filter certain pages, if the pattern doesn't fit any entry, show an error page or something. So maybe just the actual (:any) value from the pattern?
]
]);
}
I studied the virtual pages and route reference pages a lot however, can anybody maybe point me in the right direction?
Of course I could just redirect “results/(:any)” to “results.php” and then php-get the url in the url bar and compare it to some other values, but that’s not really a real solution.
Thanks for any input!
