Comments on: Zend Framework: If controller not found, use default http://www.karlkatzke.com/zend-framework-if-controller-not-found-use-default/ Geek of the Week Tue, 27 Sep 2011 13:39:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Janther http://www.karlkatzke.com/zend-framework-if-controller-not-found-use-default/comment-page-1/#comment-1791 Janther Tue, 05 Oct 2010 02:47:30 +0000 http://www.karlkatzke.com/?p=254#comment-1791 Hi i studied a little more about this stuff and found a much cleaner way to do this. First i create a plugin with a predispatch function. <code> class Plugin_Default extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract { public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) { $front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); $dispatcher = $front->getDispatcher(); if (!$dispatcher->isDispatchable($request)) { echo "redirected"; $request->setControllerName('index'); $request->setActionName('index'); } else { echo "not redirected"; } } } </code> So before dispatching you check if the controller exist or not. finally you register the plugin in the bootstrap file <code> protected function _initPlugin() { $front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); $front->registerPlugin(new My_Controller_Plugin_FallBack()); } </code> i hope it helps. this way you dont have to try to run twice the controller. Hi i studied a little more about this stuff and found a much cleaner way to do this. First i create a plugin with a predispatch function.

class Plugin_Default extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract {
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) {
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$dispatcher = $front->getDispatcher();
if (!$dispatcher->isDispatchable($request)) {
echo "redirected";
$request->setControllerName('index');
$request->setActionName('index');
} else {
echo "not redirected";
}
}
}

So before dispatching you check if the controller exist or not. finally you register the plugin in the bootstrap file

protected function _initPlugin() {
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->registerPlugin(new My_Controller_Plugin_FallBack());
}

i hope it helps. this way you dont have to try to run twice the controller.
