Routes are overriding existing pages. Need help!

[bzerangue]

I created a Page called page and set up the following routes...

From /:pt1

To /page/:pt1

and

From /:pt1/:pt2

To /page/:pt1/:pt2

I also, setup a page called menu and the page is ignored since I have the above route setup...

So then I add in the following route...

From /menu/

To /menu/

And nothing happens, it still uses the Page called page instead of menu

How I am able to use another page?

From what I understand, not you can't.

From /:pt1
To /page/:pt1

Will always win... Can you try to reverse the order in which they are declared ?

[bzerangue]

I did. Doesn't do anything

Well, having a route match anything will always win... It order for it to work, you would need to implement some kind of check to try an match static route (/menu) before any wildcard ones...

I did that and it doesn't recognize the static route

I meant changing the php code of this extension in order to prioritize /menu (static route) over /:pt1 (dynamic/wildcard route).

Or maybe a a simplier thing to do would be to add a priority property on each route, and try to match them accordingly.

But right now, it do not think that your setup is possible with this codebase. Sorry! (@BREND0 am I right?) If you ever do it, please consider sending a PR!

I meant @brendo 😄

@nitriques just posted a separate comment on the commit - I've just noticed this issue too updating a legacy site. I think there should be some flag to by-pass this.

@jonmifsud I would review any PR you can send. Sadly, I do not use that extension a lot.
