Module-View page not found

Sigal

Hello,

I created a simple module called: products.

After I create a product with a slug, when I click on the View button, it tries to go to: mysite/products/slug but I get page not found.

What am I missing?

A simple module will have a controller called "products". That URL is pointing to a function in your controller called "slug". What is the URL behind the view button?

Thank you for answering me. I don't have a controller for this module (From the documentation: Simple modules don't require additional views and controllers to be created), it is a simple module. The url behind the button is: mysite/products/slug (the product's slug), so if the product's slug is: xxx it will be mysite/products/xxx

@Sigal - do you mean the "View" button from the Fuel backend listing?

What's the content of your MY_fuel_modules.php file look like?

Is it something like that?

$config['modules']['news'] = array(
    'module_name'    => 'Products',
    'module_uri'     => 'products',
    'model_name'     => 'Product_model',
    //...
    'preview_path'   => 'products/{slug}',
    //...

    // frontend pages
    // @link http://docs.getfuelcms.com/modules/simple => Generate Post Pages
    'pages' => array(
        'base_uri' => 'products',
        'per_page' => 10,
    )
);

For the preview_path, you need to set the {placeholder} of the field (most of the time, it is slug)

And to use the generated post pages as described here: http://docs.getfuelcms.com/modules/simple => Generate Post Pages you need to setup the pages config array. Unfortunately, it's not really straight forward in the docs, because it assumes too much.

here is what I got working without setting up any new views or controller:

I assume your Products_model is extending the Base_posts_model like this (Replace all "Tests" with "Products", also keep in mind, Base_posts_model assumes fields like publish_date etc.

require_once(FUEL_PATH.'models/Base_posts_model.php');

class Tests_model extends Base_posts_model { // Fuel Way

    public $foreign_keys  = array(
        'category_id' => array(
            FUEL_FOLDER => 'fuel_categories_model',
        )
    );

    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct('tests');
    }


    function list_items($limit = NULL, $offset = NULL, $col = 'name', $order = 'asc', $just_count = FALSE)
    {

        $this->db->select('tests.id, tests.title, tests.dec');
        $this->db->order_by('tests.id');

        $data = parent::list_items($limit, $offset, $col, $order, $just_count);

        return $data;
    }

}

// don't forget this, else a lot of things won't work
class Tests_item_model extends Base_post_item_model {

}

and this is the module config: take a look at the pages key:

$config['modules']['tests'] = array(
    'module_name'    => 'Test',
    'module_uri'     => 'tests',
    'model_name'     => 'Tests_model',

    'limit_options'  => array( '25' => '25'),
    'display_only'   => false,
    'model_location' => 'app',
    'display_field'  => 'title',
    'search_field'   => 'title',
    'default_col'    => 'title',
    'table_headers'  => [
        'id'    => 'ID', 
        'title' => 'Title',
    ],

    'permission'     => 'tests',


    // frontend pages
    // @link http://docs.getfuelcms.com/modules/simple => Generate Post Pages
    'pages' => array(
        'base_uri' => 'tests',
        'per_page' => 10,

        // fuel\modules\fuel\libraries\Fuel_posts.php:203
        // function routes() thast is used to generate routes for generic pages
        #'archive'  => $base_uri.'/archive(/$year:\d{4})(/$month:\d{1,2})?(/$day:\d{1,2})?',
        #'tag'      => $base_uri.'/tag/($tag:.+)',
        #'category' => $base_uri.'/category/($category:.+)',
        #'search'   => $base_uri.'/search(/$q:.+)?',
        #'list'     => $base_uri,
        #'post'     => $base_uri.'/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d{2})/($slug:.+)',
        #'slug'     => $base_uri.'/($slug:.+)'

        'category' => [
            'view'  => '_posts/category',
            'route' => 'products/category/($category:.+)',
            'empty_data_show_404' => TRUE
        ],
        // _posts/ refers to /views/_posts/* folder
        'list' => '_posts/posts',
        'slug' => [
            'view'  => '_posts/post',
            'route' => 'products(/$slug:.+)'
        ],

    )
);

I haven't figured it out completely, but that's what I came up with reading the docs (http://docs.getfuelcms.com/modules/simple) and jumping through the code with the debugger.

If I got something wrong, please correct me.
