ZF2: Using Helper and Reuse URL Parameters

Question

I am trying to reuse query parameters using the Url helper in the view. This is my current url:

http://localhost/events/index?__orderby=name&__order=asc 

I use this code in a view:

 $this->url('events/index', array('__page' => '2'), true); 

I want to get this URL:

 http://localhost/events/index?__orderby=name&__order=asc&__page=2 

But instead, I get the following:

 http://localhost/events/index?controller=Application\Controller\Events&__page=2 

This is my route inside the module.config.php file:

 'events' => array( 'type' => 'segment', 'options' => array( 'route' => '/eventos[/:action]', 'constraints' => array( 'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*', ), 'defaults' => array( 'controller' => 'Application\Controller\Events', 'action' => 'index', ), ), 'may_terminate' => true, 'child_routes' => array( 'index' => array( 'type' => 'Query', ), ), ), 

What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

I think you are looking for the type of query route to grab the query string for you as a child route:

 'route' => array( 'type' => 'literal', 'options' => array( 'route' => 'page', 'defaults' => array( ), ), 'may_terminate' => true, 'child_routes' => array( 'query' => array( 'type' => 'Query', 'options' => array( 'defaults' => array( 'foo' => 'bar' ) ) ), ), 

You can then use the view helper to create and add a query string for you. If you do not use the Query child route, the helper will simply ignore your query string.

 $this->url( 'page/query', array( 'name'=>'my-test-page', 'format' => 'rss', 'limit' => 10, ) ); 

Then you can set the third parameter to TRUE and allow the assistant to use the current parameters that you are trying to make in your example.

Answer 2

You can use something like this, but the arent query parameters are reused in my case.

 $this->url( 'page/query', array(), array( 'query' => array( 'name'=>'my-test-page', 'format' => 'rss', 'limit' => 10, ) ), true ); 

So, if you want to reuse the request parameters, you connect them to your new ones, and then add all of them to the request array (parameter 3).
