How to forward to a specific path

Hello,
I'm try to do a forward to a path rather than a controller. For example, if
I get the url /foo/my/path, I want to redirect it to /my/path which belongs
to a different controller. In the controllfer Foo, I tried something like
this:

sub foo :Path :Args {
my ($self, $c) = @_

$c->forward("/" . join("/", @{$c->req->args}); # $c->forward("/my/path");
}

I cannot fin the righrt command to forward to any path.

Thank you
Julien

Hy!

I think your problem is that there is a difference between how an url
dispatched to an action, and how forward finds the action to forward to...

so for example, if you have a controller (YourApp::Controller::Foo) with
an index method you can access it with the url path /foo, but you should
use /foo/index in forward... so the 'private' path to the action is
different from the 'public' path in many times!

Right,
but this mapping is stored somewhere since it is displayed by Catalyst in
debug mode:

.-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------.
| Path | Private |
+-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| / | /index
|
| / | /default
|
| /admin | /admin/admin |

Hi Julien -

In general you should be able to forward() to a path, not sure what is
going on in your case without seeing the error message. But forwarding
to a path can get confused if that path is handled by a default action,
if that is the case then this might help:

this sounds like there may be a way to achieve the goal you are
trying to achieve. What is your goal here?

Re: Re: How to forward to a specific path [In reply to]

Thanks.

I have pages in /page/<number>/<title>

I created a couple of categories: /ca1, /cat2, etc. Each of them map to a
/page/<number>/<title>

/page/1/some-title
/cat1/page/1/some-title
/cat2/page/1/some-title

For cat1 and cat2, I wanted to set some variables. So I intercept the page
in /cat1 and send it back to /page/1/some-title

/cat1, /cat2 and /page reside in different controller.

I'm just starting with Catalyst, so there might be a better way to do it.

Julien

OK, but that doesnâ€™t explain why you need to forward to a URI
rather than an action. Why is that?
