everybody!

setRouteVariables() doesn't appear to be working for me. If I boil my controller function down to just this:

public function actionSubmitForm() {
    craft()->urlManager->setRouteVariables([
        'foo' => 'bar'
    ]);
}

and my <form method="post" action="" accept-charset="UTF-8"> contains the following (among other inputs):

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="directoryForms/submitForm">

it hits the correct endpoint and then reloads the appropriate template, but it doesn't give me access to the {{ foo }} variable in that template. It just tells me Variable "foo" does not exist. I know it's hitting the right controller endpoint because if I die() there it dies as expected.

Any thoughts? I've really boiled this one down as far as I can. I must be missing something obvious. Thanks!

  • Just a guess, but something else (another plugin?) is redirecting/interfering with the request of the request and not letting it continue as you're expecting? – Brad Bell Jan 31 '17 at 5:14
  • Ah, I do have custom routes set for this plugin via registerSiteRoutes()! How does that change how I proceed? I'd like to pass these variables back through that custom site route. (My full use case is filling in bad user input on validation failure) – Billy Pilgrim Jan 31 '17 at 13:36
  • Alrighty, I've got it now. Thanks for the push in the right directory, Brad. I ended up routing directly to a template rather than an action which loads a template. I didn't even realize that could be done! – Billy Pilgrim Jan 31 '17 at 14:16
  • Would you mind adding what worked for you as an official answer in case it ends up helping someone else in the future? – Brad Bell Jan 31 '17 at 18:22
  • Of course! Thanks for all you do in the community, Brad. – Billy Pilgrim Jan 31 '17 at 19:19

My solution was to load the template directly rather than routing to the controller first. Essentially, in my registerSiteRoutes() function I replaced this:

"payment" => ['action' => 'someController/doPayment']

with

"payment" => 'templateDir/core/payment'

I didn't even realize you could do this in registerSiteRoutes()!
