For one of my templates, I need two extra segments.

If I have the following in template routes, the page only loads if there is 1 segment.

/gallery/{alpha_dash}

If I add the following, it fails:

/gallery/{alpha_dash}/{alpha_dash}

The following works for two or one extra segment, but not just /gallery.

/gallery/{a:alpha_dash}/{b:alpha_dash}

Can anyone explain how I can have it work for all segments:

/gallery
/gallery/...
/gallery/.../...

If you have the segments required? flag in the template manager is set to "no", then your longest route (i.e. /gallery/{alpha_dash}/{alpha_dash}) should work for all your test cases. If it doesn't, try turning the two alpha_dash instances into separate variables - e.g. /gallery/{a:alpha_dash}/{b:alpha_dash}

  • Hi Gavin. Segments required is set to 'no'. As I explain in my question, I already tried /gallery/{alpha_dash}/{alpha_dash} and /gallery/{a:alpha_dash}/{b:alpha_dash} with neither working. Am I to understand that this means there is a bug?

  • Hi ccdavies - you didn't say in your posting that you had tried setting the segments required to 'no'... Based on the documentation here the long form should work docs.expressionengine.com/v2/urls/template_routes.html
