Zend Framework 2 - Multiple modules by URL

Question

I\'m currently using the ZendFrameworkSkeleton application from Git and am trying to utilize the module part of it to have a multitude of modules, changeable by URL like so:

Answer 1

To change routing you need to edit Application/confid/module.config.php. Find there and change to

'options' => array(
    'route' => '/[:module/[:controller[/:action]]]', 
    'constraints' => array(
        'module' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*', 
        'controller' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*', 
        'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*'
    ), 
    'defaults' => array(
        'module' => 'Application', 
        'controller' => 'index', 
        'action' => 'index'
    )
)

You can see I added /[:module and deafults and constraint

You can use 'child_routes' attribute in module.config.php file comes under module\Application\config

'routes' => array(
        'application' => array(
            'type'    => 'Literal',
            'options' => array(
                'route'    => '/application',
                'defaults' => array(
                    '__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
                    'controller'    => 'Index',
                    'action'        => 'index',
                ),
            ),
            'may_terminate' => true,
            'child_routes' => array(
                'default' => array(
                    'type'    => 'Segment',
                    'options' => array(
                        'route'    => '/[:controller[/:action]]',
                        'constraints' => array(
                            'controller' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
                            'action'     => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
                        ),
                        'defaults' => array(
                        ),
                    ),
                ),
            ),
        ),
    ),

then you can run localhost/application/index/index
