Nested Routes with RoutingAutoBundle (Symfony CMF)

Question

I imagine this is a simple enough thing. I just want to use the RoutingAutoBundle for nested pages.

I'm following along here http://symfony.com/doc/current/cmf/cookbook/creating_a_cms/

Say I have Page documents which have a parent.

/**
 * 
 * @PHPCR\Document(referenceable=true)
 * 
 * @author Matt Durak <[email protected]>
 */
class Page implements RouteReferrersReadInterface
{
    /**
     * @PHPCR\Id()
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * @PHPCR\ParentDocument()
     */
    protected $parent;

    //...

    /**
     * Get ID
     * 
     * @return integer
     */
    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function getParent()
    {
        return $this->parent;
    }

    public function setParent($parent)
    {
        $this->parent = $parent;

        return $this;
    }

    // ...
}

My auto routing configuration is like so:

cmf_routing_auto:
    mappings:
        Study\MainBundle\Document\Page:
            content_path:
                pages:
                    provider: [specified, { path: /cms/routes/page }]
                    exists_action: auto_increment
                    not_exists_action: create
            content_name:
                provider: [content_method, { method: getTitle }]
                exists_action: auto_increment
                not_exists_action: create

I would like something like the following. Assume I have my data like so:

/cms/pages
     /page-1
     /page-2
         /page-A
         /page-B

Currently, those 4 pages would have the following routes

/page/page-1
/page/page-2
/page/page-A
/page/page-B

I would like

/page/page-1
/page/page-2
/page/page-2/page-A
/page/page-2/page-B

I've tried adding another content_path with the content_object provider and calling getParent, but that did not work. Is anyone familiar with Symfony CMF and the RoutingAutoBundle that knows how to do this? Documentation is sparse...

How should the URLs look like? (btw, the bundle is fully documented, it's still in beta though, so it is missing some tips&tricks arricles)) — Wouter J
Added the routes I see and the routes I'd like. Yes, the documentation is missing any useful examples beyond the basics. That would be really helpful — Matt

You can use the content_method provider and return either null or the parent in the class. As of RoutingAutoBundle alpha10, a provider is allowed to not add anything to the path.

The code would look like:

cmf_routing_auto:
    mappings:
        Study\MainBundle\Document\Page:
            content_path:
                pages:
                    provider: [specified, { path: /cms/routes/page }]
                    exists_action: auto_increment
                    not_exists_action: create
                parent:
                    provider: [content_method, { method: getParentPath }]
                    exists_action: use
                    not_exists_action: create
            content_name:
                provider: [content_method, { method: getTitle }]
                exists_action: auto_increment
                not_exists_action: create

class Page
{
    // ...

    public function getParentPath()
    {
        return $this->parent instanceof static ? $this->parent->getTitle() : null;
    }
}

You could also use content_object, but that one is planned to be removed from the bundle.
