enable module view instead of default view

Jers

Hi,

I've implemented the sample files from the simple module tutorial. In the CMS everything is working but on the front-end /articles/{slug} ends up on my default view instead of view/articles.php.

I have also added $pages['articles/:any'] = array('view' => 'articles'); to _variables/global.php

If I add an exit(); at the end of the view/articles.php, the page is displayed correctly.

What is redirecting my view to my default view? And how can I prevent this?

Thanks in advance.

Did you set this up in a fuel/application/views/_variables/articles.php file?

$vars['view'] = 'articles';

Also, is the page redirecting or displaying the wrong view?

Jers

Setting this up in _variables/articles.php does not change anything.

/articles/{slug} shows me the view/articles.php

but
/articles shows me my view/_layouts/home.php which is my default view
It's displaying the wrong view, not redirecting.

Did you specify the $max_page_params in the fuel/application/config/MY_fuel.php?

$config['max_page_params'] = array('articles' => 1);

Yes, I tried all 4 "Finding the View" from the tutorial, but no effect.

This is my views/articles.php. URL without a slug only works with an exit(); at the end.

<?php 
$slug = uri_segment(2);

if ($slug) :

    $article = fuel_model('articles', array('find' => 'one', 'where' => array('slug' => $slug)));

    if (empty($article)) :
        redirect_404();
    endif;

else:
    $tags = fuel_model('tags');
endif;

if (!empty($article)) : ?>

    <h1><?=fuel_edit($article)?><?php echo $article->title?></h1>
    <div class="author"><?=$article->author->name?></div>
    <img src="<?=$article->image_path?>" alt="<?=$article->title_entities?>" class="img_right" />
    <article><?=$article->content_formatted?></article>


<?php else: ?>

    <h1>Articles</h1>
<?php foreach($tags as $item) : 
echo $item->name;
?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php endif; 
exit(); //----- WORKS ONLY WHITH THIS ONE

I'm having a hard time replicating your issue. Do you have a page called "articles" created in the Pages module that may be interfering?

Jers

Nope, all my pages are in dutch ;-)

Will it help if I create a controller for it. Like @almostcompletely suggested in one the tickets?

admin

A controller should supersede the automatic view mapping so yes, you can try that.
