This page describes how to use Pageroute.

Requirements

First of all you will need to download and install the Pageroute module.
Pageroute comes with 3 modules:

Pageroute

This is the core module. You will need to activate it.

Pageroute Simpletest

This is a helper module to test the functionality of Pageroute with Simpletest. If you aren't a developer, it is not needed.

Pageroute UI

This modules contains the administration forms for pageroute. You can run pageroute without this module, but you won't be able to add or delete any routes. So you will probably want to activate it too.

Pageroutes

All your Pageroutes are listed at '/admin/build/pageroute'. Here you can add, edit, delete and import new routes.

When you add a new route, you will need to enter a path which is not yet used. The path is built up like this:

route-path/page-name/uid/nid

route-path

The unique path of the route. You can link to the first page of a route with just the path (omitting all arguments).

page-name

Use it to start the route at a specific page or omit it to start at the beginning (e.g. /route-path//uid/nid).

uid

Will be interpreted as a user id. This effects for example content creation (node add form) and user editing (user edit page). Other page types may utilize this argument too.

You can also choose which tabs to use, or which roles have access to the route. Under advanced settings you also can set, to which page the user should be redirected, after reaching the end of the pageroute.

Pages

After saving your pageroute you'll be able to add new pages by clicking 'Add Page'.
On the first form you will have to choose a page type. On the second form you can set various things, like name, title and content type of page type. The setting vary depending on which page type you're using:

Node View

Displays a node. Can be configured to show a node given by the 'nid' argument. If you set it to 0 it will automatically show the node which was passed by the previous page.

Node Add Form

Add content of a configured content type.

Node Edit Form

Edit a node given by the 'nid' argument or show a node add form of a configured content type.

User Edit Page

Edit a user account for the given user id ('uid' argument).
