Multiple pages on the same dynamic path (node types)
If you want to fire different access or page callbacks on the same dynamic path, typically node/123 or node/123/foo depending on the node type, you will face the problem that the menu system can only hold an entry for node/%/foo. Let's say we want to register a path which answers on types article and story We will register node/%mymodule_article_story
<?php
function mymodule_article_story_load($arg) {
if (!is_numeric($arg)) {
return FALSE;
}
if ($node = node_load($arg)) {
if ($node->type == 'article' || $node->type == 'story') {
return $node;
}
}
return FALSE;
}
?>and then we want to fire page callbacks, so we write a small despatcher:
<?php
function mymodule_page($node) {
// $node->type can only be story or article.
return $node->type == 'article' ? mymodule_page_article($node) : mymodule_page_story($node);
}
?>and write the menu entry as
<?php
$items['node/%mymodule_article_story/foo'] = array(
'title callback' => 'mymodule_title_callback';
'title arguments' => array(1),
'page callback' => 'mymodule_page',
'page arguments' => array(1),
'access callback' => 'node_access',
'access arguments' => array(1),
);
?>
mymodule_title_callback?
i guess you'd still need to define 'mymodule_title_callback'?
Doesn't registering
Doesn't registering 'node/%mymodule_article_story' will also disable 'node/%node' ?
Let's say your module want to manage story & article node types but want to leave de default 'node/%node' menu item to handle the rest. Is it possible?
You can always fall back
You can record somewhere what the original entry was before you menu_alter'd the entry and fall back.
