Usage

Configuration

Copy config/landingpages.config.local.php.dist to your autoload directory and rename to landingpages.config.local.php.

In this file you can configure the route and the landing pages and categories

$route = '/landingpage/%slug%';
  • This route is a child route of the "lang" route (prefixed always with "/", e.g.: "/en/")
  • The string "%slug%" must be in the definition - this will be replaced by the landing page slug (see below)
  • The route must not contain "--" (two dashes) - this is used to indicate combined categories
$landingpages = [];

Here you configure the categories, landing pages and combined items as nested arrays. The array keys are the slugs of the items - they must be unique, even in nested arrays.

There are three "types" of items

  • categories:
    • have the array key 'items', which value is an array of slug => item
    • may have the array key 'text', which value is used as the display name
  • landing pages:
    • have the array key 'query', which is an array where you specify the values of the search form fields:
      • 'q' : Search text
      • 'l' : Location
      • 'd' : Distance
    • may have the array key 'params', which is an array of additional route parameters injected to the RouteMatch object.
    • may have the array key 'text', which value is used as the display name
  • combined items:
    • have the array key 'combine', which value is an array of slugs. These slugs need to be defined in the configuration array.
    • may have the array key 'glue', which value is used as concatenation string between the display names of the combined items.
    • may have the array key 'text', which value us used as the display name.

Example configuration

<?php
$landingpages = [
  'top' => [
    'text' => 'Top is a category'
    'items' => [
      'topPage' => [
        'text' => 'This is a landing page',
        'query' => [
          'q' => 'manager',
          'l' => 'Frankfurt am Main, Germany',
          'd' => 50
        ],
        'params' => [
          'param1' => 'Additional route parameter',
        ],
      ],
    ],
  ],
  'middle' => [
    'text' => 'This combines top and bottom',
    'combine' => ['top', 'bottom'],
    'glue' => 'and',
  ],
  'bottom' => [
    'text' => 'Bottom category',
    'items' => [
      'bottomPage' => [
        'text' => 'Also a landing page',
        'query' => [
          'q' => 'executive',
        ],
      ],
      'executive-manager' => [
        'text' => 'you can also combine landing pages',
        'combine' => ['topPage', 'bottomPage'],
        'glue' => 'combined with',
      ],
    ],
  ],
];

Rendering

This module provides two view helpers, one to easily render links to landingpages or categories and the second one for access to the landing page entity when on a landing page.

Landingpages helper

<?=$this->landingpages(string|array $slug, string $partial, array $values)?>
  • $slug is either a string corresponding to a slug defined in the configuration or an array of slugs. In the latter case the resulting category entity which is passed to the $partial is the combination of all slugs. You may specify the glue to use with an array entry with the key 'glue'.

  • $partial is the name of the view partial used to render the links. At the moment, only one partial is provided by this module, which is used as the default:
    landingpages/button

  • $values is an array of variable name => value pairs to be injected in the view partial.
    The category entity is passed as the key 'category'.

Landingpage helper

<?=$this->landingpage()?>
  • returns null if currently no landingpage route is invoked.
  • Acts as proxy to the landing page entity
  • Provides the method isCombined() to quickly check, if the current landingpage is a combination of multiple slugs.

Examples

<?php
// get the landingpage params
$params = $this->landingpage()->getParams();

// render a combination of this landingpage with a category
if ($this->landingpage()):
    if ($this->landingpage()->getCategory()->getName() == 'top'):
        echo $this->landingpages(
            [
                $this->landingpage()->getSlug(),
                'bottom',
                'glue' => 'and'
            ]
        );
    elseif ($this->landingpage()->getCategory()->getName() == 'bottom'):
        // ...
    endif;
endif;
