custom routing for content pages in zf2

Question

Hello to all zend coders. I am newbie to zend, doing code for manage pages through DB. I want to use URL for these pages like this:

www.domainname.com/about-us

www.domainname.com/contact-us ...

Table name is 'cms_page' & attributes are:

`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

  `title` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

  `page_key` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

  `content` longtext NOT NULL,

  `added_on` datetime NOT NULL,

I have done R&D for this and here are code:

// in module.config.php

'navigation' => array(
        'default' => array(
            'account' => array(
                'label' => 'Account',
                'route' => 'node',
                'params' => array(
                            'id' => '2',
                            ),
                'pages' => array(

}

When I run this url www.domainname.com/about-us on browser getting 404 error. Please help me where am I wrong and what code need to add or edit?

Heyho, i don't have enough time to digg into this, but there is already a very great module (caching included) that does exactly what you need! It's called PhlySimplePage by Matthew Weier O'Phinney (ZF2 Architect) — Sam

You can use the a Zend_Controller_Router_Route as an alternative. Here is a quick tutorial on how to do so:
