Support Question

KNP Paginator Bundle heavily relies on Symfony's Request (mostly "->query") object. I would like to step away from this and integrate a mechanism to supply the whole Bundle with something like a UserDefinedRequest - which supplies the Bundle (meaning every class that relies on Symfony's Request object) with all necessary functions (mainly those supported by InputBag). This way, the application can specify where the parameters come from (other than the Request->query object).

Why? Just one example: currently, URLs look like ?sort=a.fancy_title, but i do not whant to show everybody the table column names, instead I would like to set up a URL like ?sort=title and map the value title in the controller to a.fancy_title and pass it to Paginator.

Is this already possible? If not: how can I archieve this?

Thanks in advance
Gregor

I'm afraid this is not currently supported.

It would be nice to have it, since the current implementation is a bit too naive.
Anyway, it should be done in the knp_components library
