Question about routing...

ekennedy

I seem to be having an issue with routing, and I am ending up at the 404 page when I am sure I should not be.

What I have done is based on the News module from the "Creating a Page" tutorial.
Everything was going great until I changed the view/model names to match my project.

Now the if statement in the view file that checks to see if the extra uri segment is present will send me to a 404 if the extra uri segment is there. I do not call any 404 redirects in the view file, so I'm not exactly sure where I am being redirected from.

For example:
site.com/get-involved/join-the-army -> works as it should
site.com/get-involved/join-the-army/$urlFromDB -> Redirects to 404 page

And I know that $urlFromDB exists in the database.

Any idea what I am doing wrong that could be causing this?

All relevant code is below.

CUSTOM army messaging.

Alright, so I think I've figured it out.

All I had to do was move this line from 'views/_variables/join-the-army.php' to 'views/variables/global.php' ->
$pages['get-involved/join-the-army/:any'] = array('view' => 'get-involved/join-the-army');


Is there a naming convention for the variables files that perhaps I didn't follow?

Your solution is correct. You need to specify the view for those pages (you can add the $pages variable to the join-the-army.php file too if you just want it to load in that section). Also, you can set the variable 'find_view' in join-the-army.php and it should find the view file.
$vars['find_view'] = TRUE;
