An interesting MVC routing issue

NAWA-mark — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:48:08 GMT

I've used System.Web.Routing in my WebForms apps but instead of being tied to a controller and action it was tied to a physical .aspx page with a parameter like this:

Csharp Code:

RouteTable.Routes.Add(
        new Route("{Parameter}/{pageID}", new RouteHandler()));
    RouteTable.Routes.Add(
        new Route("{Parameter}", new RouteHandler()));

The first Route is for a page that uses a varialble pageID and the second route is just for running the other pages without the .aspx extension.

To learn MVC I'm converting one of my sites from WebForms piece by piece.

My concern with the routing scheme is that my current page gets decent search engine ranking so I don't want to change from the current URLs if possible.

Currently I have http://example.com/page/page-title but with MVC it seems that I have to name the controller and the action for it to route properly so I have http://example.com/page/index/page-title and I'd like to keep if from changing both for google and for those that may have bookmarked pages.

I could change the order of the routing for Page to something like this:

Csharp Code:

routes.MapRoute(
                "",                                              // Route name
                "{controller}/{pageID}/{action}",                           // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Page", action = "Index", pageID = "" }

That way action is always Index unless otherwise specified.

Is that a good plan or is there a better idea?

Errors after changing to mysql_pconnect

jetnine — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:30:45 GMT

After changing the way my database connects, I get errors on some pages of my site.

Errors such as:

PHP Code:


		
			
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/gameany/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 212

and

PHP Code:


		
			
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/gameany/public_html/includes/more.php on line 11

These are basic queries which worked previously. Any ideas?

path_info

lewisb87 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:23:53 GMT

Hello

I want to have a domain like this: domain/number. The number will be used to query a database. The server path_info works on my local host

eg localhost/file.php/1234

This would be /1234

The extension isn't a file name, just a value that is used to query a database.

Is there an easy way to do this via php that works on a non local machine?

Thanks
Lewis

rookie needs general advice please

m300zx — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:45:35 GMT

just want check base with you guys before I head off in the wrong direction.

want to build a site that's all about a calendar. people will post their events to this calendar, and it will display (at least) the events title (and maybe time of day) in the appropriate day's box of the calendar - as to be viewed at a glance. a click on that day's box will display the events in detail. a nice feature would be to have the event blink until two users agree to the meeting, or what have you, and once agreed to the event would be "locked in" - no longer blinking. sending an email notice of the proposed event to the second party would be nice too.

so my question to you is this: in a general way, how would YOU go about this? right now I'm thinking a relational database SQL, one (parent) table for user info and another (child) table for the events. PHP to do the logic, get things to and from the DB, as well as build the calendar. then some HTML to write the calendar (as a table I guess). may need some Javascript to get the blinking action and mouseover effects and such.

would really like to hear anyone's thoughts on this as I'm working alone. if you care to reply please keep in mind I'm a newbie. plus I'm lazy and stupid, so keep it simple :-).

many thanks!

cfgrid with some features

emmim44 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:35:04 GMT

hi all, I have cfgrid which displays 9 coloumns... first column will have checkboxes if the record is not acknowledge..if acknowledge just the time stamp from db... if check box is clicked, it will call another page(the page is already there)

Other columns will have statndard data from db...except one column will have four values of db on a new line...(video - 130
digital -200
...) And lastly, the last column will have a tooltip which is a result of db column.

The acknowledge column back color is green...the others will follow sequence of grey/white background...

Any example appreciated..
