URL routing with a list and detail page
HI
I am having trouble getting a list and detail page to work in runway.
I have a staff-detail page with a name, phone number, image and quote at the bottom i have
<perch:content id="slug" for="director-name" type="slug" suppress="true" />
again in normal perch you add a
RewriteRule ^about/directors/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ /about/directors.php?s=$1 [L]
in you htaccess file and then in your list page you add
<perch:before>
<ul>
</perch:before>
<li>
<a href="/about/directors/<perch:content id="slug" type="slug" />">
<perch:content id="director-name" type="text" />
</a>
</li>
<perch:after>
</ul>
</perch:after>
this works perfectly
using the same thing in runway i can not get the slug to work. I clearly am not getting URL patterns
i add the the directors page which is /about/directors-profiles.php and add a url pattern of
/about/director/[slug]
i get the page but only the first director i add is shown, when i click on the director name the slug is not working.
please help

How are you referencing the slug in your page? It may be simplest to name it:
Then you can use
If you wanted to leave it unnamed, you would use its (zero-indexed) segment number
Brett,
Make sure your location path is set correctly. I had a problem with list and details pages but as long as I had the location path correct it worked like a charm.
Try putting the following in your location path.
That makes sense except where do I add the perch_get In regular perch you have a detail page with all the fields you need and at the bottom of it you add the slug.
Then in your listing page you reference the slug
Then the field you want to display to click on.
Where do I put the perch:get. In the a href of the listing page.
Where you used to have pages in Perch, you now have Master Pages in your
templates/pagesfolder (and below).Thanks
added the if perch_get(s) to the directors-profile page and works now, thanks for being patient.

No problem.
