So I have this URL:
www.mysite.com/index.cfm/products/home/kitchen
And I want to be able to have this URL get there:
www.mysite.com/index.cfm/kitchen
In Routes.cfm I add:
addRoute(pattern="/kitchen ", handler=“products.home”, action=“kitchen”);
That’s correct right?? It isn’t working for me.
Where did you add it? Did you reinit?

Yes, I’m pretty good with CB but this is my first time trying to use custom routing.
I also used addCourse() just to see if the reinit would throw an error and it did, so I know it’s getting reinited.
And I added my route right under this line: addRoute(pattern=":handler/:action?");
That’s why!
Routes fire in declaration order. So you are declaring a specific route before a generic route. Your route will never fire.

DOH! Ah ha! Cool works now, thanks.
Was also having a routing problem. I did what Clint did, “put it right under” the existing line. Did you actually mean “You are declaring a GENERIC route BEFORE a specific route” below? I put my specific route for addRoute(pattern=‘events/ThankYou/:eventregistrationkey?’); ABOVE the line addRoute(pattern=":handler/:action?");
…and it worked. Just want to clarify what you said, there, Luis.
Okay, I should correct myself. The “…and it worked” was wrong. My OTHER pages work, like:
/index.cfm/main/cruiseNight
index.cfm/main/goExclusive
They get to the right main.CruiseNight handler functions and main.goExclusive. However, this pattern (first in routes file) isn’t working:
addRoute(pattern=‘events/ThankYou/:eventregistrationkey?’);
Do I have it coded wrong?
