Symfony 1.4, Pager Navigation, additional URL parameters

I'd like to create a pageable blog archive like this:

blog_archive:

    url: /blog/archive/:year/:month/:page

    class: sfDoctrineRoute

    options: { model: Blog, type: list }

    param: { module: blog, action: listArchive, page: 1 }

    requirements:

        year: \d+

        month: \d+

        sf_method: [get, post]

This works fine, creating including the pager:



    public function executeListArchive(sfWebRequest $request) {

...

        $this->pager = BlogTable::getInstance()->getArchivePager($page, $this->hitsperpage, $this->year, $this->month);

However, if I add the pager_navigation() to the Template like this:

<?php echo pager_navigation($pager, 'blog_archive') ?>

, I get an error message like "The "/blog/archive/:year/:month/:page" route has some missing mandatory parameters (:year, :month)." If I change the code to

<?php echo pager_navigation($pager, '@blog_archive?year='.$year.'&month='.$month) ?>

, the Pager doesn't work, because the page parameter isn't added to the URL.

Hi,

the solution can be additional route like:

blog_archive:
url: /blog/archive/:year/:month/:page
class: sfDoctrineRoute
options: { model: Blog, type: list }
param: { module: blog, action: listArchive, page: 1 }
requirements:
year: \d+
month: \d+
sf_method: [get, post]

blog_archive_without_page:
url: /blog/archive/:year/:month
class: sfDoctrineRoute
options: { model: Blog, type: list }
param: { module: blog, action: listArchive, page: 1 }
requirements:
year: \d+
month: \d+
sf_method: [get, post]

And then call your pager navigation with <?php echo pager_navigation($pager, '@blog_archive_without_page?year='.$year.'&month='.$month) ?>

  Why there is no month and year? This route called @blog_archive so it means that there must be info like period of archive range.

  My problem is not about the year / month parameter. If I change the the call to
```
<?php echo pager_navigation($pager, '@blog_archive?year='.$year.'&month='.$month) ?>
```
  , year and month are added to the URL correctly. However, the page parameter is still missing.

  Yes, page is still required because you add it to the route url
  blog_archive:
  url: /blog/archive/:year/:month/:page
  
  If you want to pass only year and month and page to be optional you must remove :page from url. Like:
  
  blog_archive:
  url: /blog/archive/:year/:month/*
  
  And then you can pass as combination of (year,month) and also (year, month, .... <any you want params> )
  
  this will work
```
<?php echo pager_navigation($pager, '@blog_archive?year='.$year.'&month='.$month) ?>
```
  and this will work too
```
<?php echo pager_navigation($pager, '@blog_archive?year='.$year.'&month='.$month.'&page='.$page) ?>
```

of course there is no information about month year on <?php echo pager_navigation($pager, 'blog_archive') ?> call. You probably have to do your helper or do this in another way, but you cannot just call the helper in that way without parameters.
