By dispatch I mean to make the controller act like a default URL. Here is the scenario:
I have a controller storage that has actions: download, view, preview
I need to make a request to /storage/preview/id/345 and /storage/view/id/345
<a href="/storage/view/id/345">
<img src="/storage/preview/id/345">
</a>
Where the logic should look like the following:
public function actionView($id) {
$model = FileObject::model()->find($id);
if($model->isPicture()) {
$data = $model->readData();
header('Content-type: '.$model->mime_type);
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.$model->name.'"');
header('Content-Length: '.$model->size);
echo $data;
} else {
$this->dispatch(['download','id'=>$id]);
}
}
public function actionPreview($id) {
$model = FileObject::model()->find($id);
if($model->isPicture()) {
$this->dispatch(['view','id'=>$id]);
} else {
$url = Yii::app()->assetManager->publish(Yii::app()->theme->basePath.'/images/no-preview.png')
$this->dispatch($url);
}
}
The dispatch function isn’t a redirect, all it does is to “make” the action act like the given url. Is that possible? Through extensions or core?
