Feature #65493
Updated by Benni Mack about 9 years ago
A new Routing API is introduced in order to streamline the entrypoints to the TYPO3 Backend. All previous patches by Wouter for the dispatched modules are the foundation for this change. Instead of using the term "module" for anything linkable in the backend, the term "routes" fits more. a "module" or an ajax call is a derivative of a route, which will build on this foundation. Routes can be registered via Configuration/Backend/Routes.php in any extension and are loaded solely on Backend requests. The Routing API is inspired by the Symfony Routing framework and mostly compatible for now but the TYPO3 implementation only takes around 20% of the needed logic for now. There are four new classes - Route (a single route with a path some options) - RouteCollection (holding all routes) - Router (API to match paths and generate URLs) - UrlGenerator (Generates the URL) This patch changes the entrypoint for login/logout to typo3/index.php?route=XY&token=... making index.php the only entrypoint to the TYPO3 Backend in the future. The main RequestHandler of all Backend modules detects where a GET parameter "route" is given and then resolves to a controller/action logic and checks for a valid token. Once this patch is in, all non-module entrypoints are moved to the new format. See http://wiki.typo3.org/Blueprints/BackendRouting for implementation details.
