Magento 1 custom router with parameters

Question

I have created a career module and jobs can access from below url.

mysite.com/careers

This page shows list of jobs with each job shows "View More" button.

When I click on the "View More" button then open a new page and must be show that selected job full details. So this single page link like to be:-

mysite.com/careers/jobdetails/index/view/1

Here "1" means job ID.

app/code/community/Sumith/Careers/Block/Jobdetails.php

<?php   
class Sumith_Careers_Block_Jobdetails extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{   
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $datasets=Mage::getModel('careers/jobdetails')->getCollection()->addAttributeToSort('sh_job_details_id', 'DESC');//->addAttributeToSelect('*');

        $this->setDatasets($datasets);
    }

    protected function _prepareLayout()
    {
        parent::_prepareLayout();
        $pager = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('page/html_pager')->setCollection($this->getDatasets());
        $this->setChild('pager', $pager);
        $this->getDatasets()->load();
        return $this;
    }

    public function getPagerHtml()
    {
        return $this->getChildHtml('pager');
    } 
} // end of the class

app/code/community/Sumith/Careers/controllers/JobdetailsController.php

<?php
class Sumith_Careers_JobdetailsController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->loadLayout();   
        $this->getLayout()->getBlock("head")->setTitle($this->__("Job Details"));

        $breadcrumbs = $this->getLayout()->getBlock("breadcrumbs");

        $breadcrumbs->addCrumb("home", array(
            "label" => $this->__("Home Page"),
            "title" => $this->__("Home Page"),
            "link"  => Mage::getBaseUrl()
        ));

        $breadcrumbs->addCrumb("careers", array(
            "label" => $this->__("Job Details"),
            "title" => $this->__("Job Details")
        ));

        $this->renderLayout(); 
    }
} // end controller class

I'm using magento 1.9 version.

If anyone can help me to fix this appreciate that.

Answer 1

With your URL mysite.com/careers/jobdetails/index/view/1 view will be the parameter name and the value for this parameter will be 1

Now to get this parameter value in your controller action function, you can use below code

$careerId = $this->getRequest()->getParam("view");

Now you can use this $careerId to load your model and get details for the carrer.
