Static routes configuration

[impossiblecode]

Let me go ahead and apologize if I am failing to understand an obvious method to solve this problem, but I really could not find a way yet.

Let us imagine that for a particular set of pages, I want to create a route using segment_1 that maps to a template with a different url_title than the one that is present at that channel's entry without issuing a redirect.

Example: 'example.com/privacy' (maps to) 'example.com/static/main/privacy-policy'

In this example, the "group/template" would be "static/main" and the real url_title, would be "privacy-policy".

What I am looking to do is replace some of the routes I have using Freeway, now that the project has been discontinued.

Here's what I suggest:

$config['resource_router'] = array(
    'privacy' => function($router) {
        $router->setGlobal('page_url_title', 'privacy-policy');
        $router->setTemplate('static/main');
    },
);

This will route /privacy to the static/main template, and set a {page_url_title} global template variable set to privacy-policy.

Then, you'd update your static/main template, to use the {page_url_title} variable:

{exp:channel:entries channel="my_pages" dynamic="no" url_title="{page_url_title}" require_entry="yes"}
