Has anyone tried modify Dispatcher::default_routes to customize URL?

[JasonWang]

I want to add some new page to display different newsletters and a list of them. And I also dont want to use parameters in the URL, like www.xxx.com/newsletter?id=1.

 

I prefer the way Prestashop do with its product and category. like www.xxx.com/newsletter/1/newsTitle.html

 

But in backoffice, the SEO penal only allow me to add static friendly url, like the 1st kind above.

I read some code about how Dispatcher and Controller work in Prestashop. It seems that I just need to add new route rules in Dispatcher->default_routes, and all problems solved. (I already created the newsletterController, and for the URL www.xxx.com/newsletter, it works fine.)

 

the code to add is like: 

 

'newsletter_rule' => array(
'controller' => 'newsletter',
'rule' => 'newsletter/{id}/{rewrite}',
'keywords' => array(
'id' => array('regexp' => '[0-9]+', 'param' => 'id_newsletter'),
'rewrite' => array('regexp' => '[_a-zA-Z0-9-\pL]*'),
'meta_keywords' => array('regexp' => '[_a-zA-Z0-9-\pL]*'),
'meta_title' => array('regexp' => '[_a-zA-Z0-9-\pL]*'),
),
),

is it correct?

You have solution yet?

[dks295]

using this hook "ModuleRoutes". I can set the new rule like this

 

public function hookModuleRoutes()
    {
        $routes = array();
        $routes['profile_rule'] = array(
            'controller' => 'profile',
            'rule' => '{profile_name}',
            'keywords' => array(
                'profile_name' => array('regexp' => '[_a-zA-Z0-9-\pL]*', 'param' => 'profile_name'),
                'rewrite' =>        array('regexp' => '[_a-zA-Z0-9\pL\pS-]*'),
                'meta_keywords' =>  array('regexp' => '[_a-zA-Z0-9-\pL]*'),
                'meta_title' =>     array('regexp' => '[_a-zA-Z0-9-\pL]*'),
            ),
            'params' => array(
                'fc' => 'module',
                'module' => 'demomodule'
            )
        );
       
        return $routes;
    }

 

so it display the url like

 

https://www.example.com/demoprofile

 

link is working but the other prestashop pages like my account and index page gone blank after header.

 

Is anyone got the solution of this issues?
