Question about URLs and file extensions

[alorence]

I want to configure the framework to provide contents mainly with url like "www.domain.tld/myaction.html" As I understand here http://atomikframework.com/docs/urls.html#file-extensions Atomik should load view/[controller] myaction in that case, and dispatch 2 parameters: action=myaction and format=html

Instead in $_GET array, I see only action=myaction.html

Additionally, I must rename all my views to obtain the content of each page. They have to be in form myaction.html.phtml. Is this the desired behavior or did I miss something ?

This is the normal behavior. If you want to provide URLs ending with .html, you'll need to edit your root .htaccess file (Link to the file) : RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?action=$1 [L,QSA] will become : RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ index.php?action=$1 [L,QSA]

Then URLs like www.domain.tld/myaction.html will call app/actions/myaction.php.

Thank you for your answer. I understand your advice about modifying .htaccess. But if I do that, how can I achieve to render specific view context regarding to url suffix, like described here http://atomikframework.com/docs/urls.html#file-extensions

Do I need to add something like: RewriteRule ^(.*)\.xml$ index.php?action=$1&format=xml [L,QSA]

If it is the right solution, why do not directly specify a generic .htaccess entry ? RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(.*)$ index.php?action=$1&format=$2 [L,QSA]

Ok, I realize I gave a pretty brutal solution ! If we look in Atomik.php (link), we can see $uriExtension is extracted, but $request['action'] take the value of $uri, which remains the same. I would basically have suggested to use something like :

// Atomik.php:574
if (!$found) {
    if($uriExtension === false) {
        $request = array(
            'action' => $uri, 
            self::get('app.views.context_param', 'format') => self::get('app.views.default_context', 'html')
        );
    } else {
        $request = array(
            'action' => rtrim($uri, '.'.$uriExtension), 
            self::get('app.views.context_param', 'format') => $uriExtension
         );
    }
}

This allow us to use www.domain.tld/myaction.html, avoiding to use .html in folder/file names, but I'm not really aware of all consequences. I will wait for @maximebf review on this point.

Patch - on hold
