Register a dynamic URL with

[helmutkaufmann]

I have a plugin with a a component component called Admin. This component is added normally on a CMS page {% component 'Admin' %}. The component has a parameter viewerURL. I would like to register a URL that takes the value of viewerURL and registers it as an URL. For example, if the viewerURL is xyz it should register https://myserver.com/xyz. The only content on that page should be {% component 'View' %} with the default layout.

At the moment, I create those CMS pages manually and it somehow seems to be pointless as the content returned is always {% component 'View' %}

Perhaps the question is simpler: In plugin, can I define a route that renders a CMS page that I define within the plugin, i.e. I do not want to manually create the CMS in the backend but have it defined by the plugin.

You can define these routes by creating a file named routes.php in a same directory as the plugin registration.

Views are typically stored in the views directory of a plugin.

Thanks a lot.

Ok, the view part I do understand. One last bit that is missing: I would like to render the page that comes from the view using the default layout. If you would not mind pointing me into the right direction, that would be great. Thank you.

Then you'd better use CMS Pages.
