many thanks for reply! But mb this is not exactly what i am asking about.
So how i am doing that now
I have a controller name is "rubrics"
Class Rubrics and method index. All variants of url path have the same start "rubrics"
method
public function index(arg1 = null, arg2 = null, arg3 = 0)
and here i check how many args i have
Code:
$uri = 'rubrics';
$limit = 5;
$where = array();
//view for topic list
$view_tpl = 'topics/topic_list';
switch ($args = func_num_args())
{
case 3:
//full uri ( category/subcategory - here topic or pagination will be)
$uri .= '/'.$arg1.'/'.$arg2;
//search by category and subcategory uri
$where['c.uri'] = $arg1;
$where['s.uri'] = $arg2;
//category - subcategory - pagination
if(is_numeric($arg3))
{
$topics = $this->mod_topics->get_where($where, $limit, $arg3);
}
//category - subcategory - topic
else if($id = abs((int)$arg3))
{
$topic = $this->mod_topics->get_by_id($id);
if( ! $topic) show_404();
//view for single topic
$view_tpl = 'topics/topic';
}
break;
case 2:
$where['r.uri'] = $arg1;
//category - pagination
if(is_numeric($arg2))
{
//full uri ( category/pagination)
$uri .= '/'.$arg1;
$topics = $this->mod_topics->get_where($where, $limit, $arg2);
}
//category - topic
else if($id = abs((int)$arg2))
{
$topic = $this->mod_topics->get_by_id($id);
if( ! $topic) show_404();
//full uri (category/topic)
$uri .= '/'.$arg1;
//view for single topic
$view_tpl = 'topics/topic';
}
//category - subcategory
else
{
//full uri (category/subcategory)
$uri .= '/'.$arg1.'/'.$arg2;
$where['s.uri'] = $arg2;
$topics = $this->mod_topics->get_where($where, $limit, $arg3);
}
break;
case 1:
//pagination
if(is_numeric($arg1))
{
$topics = $this->mod_topics->get_where($where, $limit, $arg1);
}
//topic
else if($id = abs((int)$arg1))
{
$topic = $this->mod_topics->get_by_id($id);
if( ! $topic) show_404(); //rand(0,3)
$view_tpl = 'topics/topic';
}
//category
else
{
$uri .= '/'.$arg1;
$where['r.uri'] = $arg1;
$topics = $this->mod_topics->get_where($where, $limit, $arg1);
}
break;
case 0:
//all topics
$topics = $this->mod_topics->get_where(array(), $limit, 0);
break;
default : show_404('Wrong argument quantity');
}
So now you can see that all handle in one method controller and there i have many repeated code and it very huge!
This is normal? Or
maybe exists more readable and easy way to do same thing? Or maybe i missing something in your answer?
Thanks!
