Question

I make navigator through XML navigation file, and I specify the default action for each item in the menu. When I create custom routing for all others routes in the system the navigator is not working correctly, it takes the routing from the URL ?!!

Does it have any relation between navigators and custom routing?

Here’s where I initialize the navigator

protected function _initNavigation() {
    $this->bootstrap('layout');
    $layout = $this->getResource('layout');
    $view = $layout->getView();
    $config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/navigation.xml', 'nav');
    $navigation = new Zend_Navigation($config);
    $view->navigation($navigation);


}

EDIT

  <visits>
        <label>Visits</label>
        <module>visits</module>
        <controller>visit</controller>
        <action>index</action>
        <route>visits/visit/index</route>
    </visits>

and I make routing in application.ini

;routing
resources.router.routes.visit.route = /visits
resources.router.routes.visit.defaults.module = visits
resources.router.routes.visit.defaults.controller = visit
resources.router.routes.visit.defaults.action = index

Try using <route> (untested, but should work according to documentation):

<controller>index</controller>
<action>index</action>
<route>yourRouteName</route>
