  1. POGrails UrlMappings for a telephone number
    text
    copied!<p>I'd like to set it so when a user visits the application with a telephone number in the URL Grails directs the user to the specified profile, for example: </p> <p><code>localhost:8080/Application/profile/07871216969 -&gt; /user/show/User.findByUserTelephone(07871216969)</code></p> <p>or preferably </p> <p><code>localhost:8080/Application/07871216969 -&gt; /user/show/User.findByUserTelephone(07871216969)</code></p> <p>However, I have no idea how to reference the telephone number in the URL when calling the findByUserTelephone closure; I've noticed something like: </p> <p><code>/profile/$telephoneNumber</code> however I'm not entirely sure how that works out. </p> <p>Also, as the /user/show action requires an id in the parameters I am not sure if the findUserByTelephone closure is any use as it returns the User as an object, and I can't seem to either getId() or .id the object to retrieve the id. </p> <p><strong>SOLVED/SOLUTION:</strong> </p> <p>I solved this by creating another action in the Controller called <code>profile</code>, this action then had code similar to the following: </p> <pre><code>def profile = { if(User.findByUserTelephone(params.userTelephone)) { def userInstance = User.findByUserTelephone(params.userTelephone) if (!userInstance) { flash.message = "${message(code: 'default.not.found.message', args: [message(code: 'user.label', default: 'User'), params.id])}" redirect(action: "list") } else { [userInstance: userInstance] } } else { render("Sorry, that user wasn't found in our database.") } } </code></pre> <p>I then created the following UrlMapping entry: </p> <pre><code>`"/$userTelephone"(controller: "user", action: "profile")` </code></pre> <p>Thus, when a user enters a telephone number into the system (or any string after the <code>/</code>) it will route the user to the user/profile action, which will attempt to find a user by their telephone number. If successful, will show the users details otherwise will show an error message.</p>
