Stepping through app, controller ?

[anhhi]

Hello everyone. I'm trying to get a better understanding of the new phpbb app version (3.1b2). My end goal is to be able to get my own portal controller to launch, possibly without much modifications of code. I'm stepping through the application, starting with app.php(line 29). I've been at it many times but still haven't found the controller that says "use index.php." I'm used to seeing Symfony's ACTIONcontroller; where controllers were in the "Controller" folder which then points to a view. I'm trying to build an web app(test) on top of phpbb 3.1x, the framework is a bit tougher than before with current prod version. Any insight would be helpful.

@ anhhi - I can't help you with your inquiry but you sparked my interest with your project. I too would like an app built "on" phpBB 3.1. I can't code but once you get going, if you need a tester I'll be happy to assist

I'm not sure if how to do this is described in documentation, but there are a few examples you can use.

From the board rules extension that's being worked on now:
You need to add the route to the routing config file in your ext:
https://github.com/phpbb-extensions/boa ... outing.yml
You need to add the service for the controller file (from _controller: phpbb.boardrules.controller:.. in routing):
https://github.com/phpbb-extensions/boa ... es.yml#L25
Then create the controller class with the function to be called when the route is matched (from _controller: ...:display in routing) :
https://github.com/phpbb-extensions/boa ... roller.php

Thank you EXreaction! This definitely helps. I'll be busy reading through all the codes and documentations.
