Using customRoute with DocLister in Evolution CMS
A practical routing note for Evolution CMS projects that need custom URL resolution for DocLister-backed content.
As soon as listing output and public URLs stop mapping cleanly to the default document tree, routing becomes part of the application design. That is where tools like customRoute start to matter.
The real question is not only whether custom routing works. It is whether the route model stays understandable once listing output, detail URLs, and related links all depend on it.
What to keep in mind
- Route rules should stay explicit and predictable.
- DocLister output should generate URLs that match the same routing model.
- Debugging becomes much easier when the route contract is documented clearly.
For Evo projects, custom routing is powerful, but only when the route rules and the listing layer are designed together rather than patched independently.
