I would like to know how to route the following scenario: I have a controller called Users, in this controller I have many actions, one of those is "profile".
I want my address being like that: mysite.com/users/NameOfTheUser OR mysite.com/users/edit-profile OR mysite.com/users/edit-photo, etc.
When you go for "edit-profile" you will be redirected to the edit_profile action, but here goes the trick, when you go to "NameOfTheUser" I want to redirect to the "profile" action, passing "NameOfTheUser" as a parameter.
Is there a way to do so without routing every action manually?
EDIT
I used the code that Yosi Azwan said, it works but I have to create a new route for each other page in the controller users.
Router::connect( '/users/:name', ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'profile'], ['pass' => ['name']] );
Maybe this is what you are looking for
Router::connect( '/users/:name', ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'profile'], ['pass' => ['name']] );
and read this for complete documentations http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/development/routing.html

I would like to know how can i do this in phalcon. I have a web site build with phalcon. All is working great now i stumbled upon a problem, here is what i need.
When a user clicks on a post that was created by another user. It takes him to this post with pictures and all things he entered to DB. I would like that in browser the name of this view is not like www.website.com/posts/index but that it is like www.website.com/posts/Nameofthepost, and like that for each other postings on the website. So that all posts (really ads) show their name up in browser. I hope i wrote everything understandable.
Appreciate all suggestions
That has to do with routing doesn't it? I modified this from my own code, I used grouping, you don't have to. I didn't test this code.
// routes.php
$router = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Router();
$router->setDefaultModule("__YOUR_MODULE__");
$router->removeExtraSlashes(true);
... your other routes ...
// posts group
$posts = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Router\Group(array(
'module' => '__YOUR_MODULE__',
'controller' => 'posts',
'action' => 'index'
));
// All the routes start with /post
$posts->setPrefix('/post');
$posts->add('/{postName}/:params', array(
'action' => 'index',
'params' => 2
));
// Maybe this will be enough for your needs,
// the one above has a catch all params, which
// has to be manually parsed
$posts->add('/{postName}', array(
'action' => 'index',
));
$posts->add('[/]*', array(
'action' => 'index',
));
$router->mount($posts);
unset($posts);
... other routes ...
return $router;
On your controller, you can get the postName param this way:
$this->dispatcher->getParam('permaPath');
As shown in the phalcon routing documentation, you can use regex in your routing config, something like this?
$posts->add('/{postName:[-0-6_A-Za-z]+}/:params', array(
'action' => 'index',
'params' => 2
));
So, only -_, 0-9, A-Z, a-z allowed for postName. If the URL had a comma in there or something, then route doesn't match, 404 page not found.
So I started making the admin panel of our site as a plugin. And I'm able to redirect every request like domain.com/admin or domain.com/admin/users or domain.com/admin/pages/edit/5 - to the appropriate controller and action from the admin plugin.
Like this one:
Router::connect('/admin', array('plugin' => 'admin', 'controller' => 'index', 'action' => 'index'));
Router::connect('/admin/users/list', array('plugin' => 'admin', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'list'));
But this means I will have to write separate route for almost each URL ??? or actually - for each action ... So - is there a way to set it globally? ...
For example:
Router::connect('/admin/users/*', array('plugin' => 'admin', 'controller' => 'users'));
Or even better:
Router::connect('/admin/*', array('plugin' => 'admin'));
Cause the last two examples didn't work at all ...
EDIT: the CakePHP version is the latest at the moment - 2.4.1.
Normally you shouldn't have to create such routes for plugins, the basic mapping works out of the box, ie in case your plugin is named admin, then /admin/users/list will automatically map to plugin admin, controller users, action list.
An exception is your /admin route, by default this would look for index on AdminController. So for mapping to index on IndexController you'll need a custom route like the one in your question:
Router::connect('/admin', array('plugin' => 'admin', 'controller' => 'index', 'action' => 'index'));
Apart from this it should work as is in case you don't have any other preceding rules that will override the default behaviour, something like Router::connect('/*', ...) for example. In case there are such rules and you cannot change them, then this is how you could connect the basic routes of your plugin:
Router::connect('/admin/:controller/:action/*', array('plugin' => 'admin'));
Router::connect('/admin/:controller/*', array('plugin' => 'admin', 'action' => 'index'));
Router::connect('/admin/*', array('plugin' => 'admin', 'controller' => 'index', 'action' => 'index'));
Note that this needs to be placed before the other routes that override the default behaviour!
See also http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html
On a side note, list as an action name will probably not work, this should throw a parser error as list is a reserved keyword. So you in case this isn't just an example you'll need an extra route for that if you want to use /list as the action name in the URL.
I'am using CakePHP 2.0 for a small admin section of a website.
If the user is logged in correctly, I redirect them to the admins dashboard.
I do this as following:
$this->redirect(Router::url(array('controller' => 'admin', 'action' => 'dashboard')));
The redirect is done correct, but for some reason the URL where it redirects to isn't correctly build. The URL is in the following structure (note the double [root] sections in the URL - this is what is wrong):
http://localhost/[root]/[root]/admin/dashboard
Off course their are errors shown because this controller / action doesn't exists. The URL should be off this form:
http://localhost/[root]/admin/dashboard
I can't seem to find what the exact problem is since cakePHP is not my core dessert, is there anyone that can point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
$this->redirect("YOUR URL");
example $this->redirect('/admins/dashboard');
This way you can redirect easily!
You can use the 'full_base' parameter in Router::url.
e.g.
$url = Router::url( array(
'controller' => 'posts',
'action' => 'view',
'id' => $post[id],
'full' => true
) );
This will give you a full base url. I found this fixed routing problems when I was running CakePHP in a subdirectory of localhost.
you can simply right like this
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'admins', 'action' => 'dashboard'));
You can simply right this
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'index'));
I have a problem with the url rewriting.
The problem that I am facing is that currently our urls are like this:
http://www.xyz.com/sc_users/index
I dont want the controller name to be shown in that url.
Is there a way to achieve that??
First of all thank your guys..
Like I have 8 controllers I dont want the controller name to be shown in my url....this is what I want..
To be more precise no controller name in my url
You can define custom routes in app/config/routes.php. You'll find the all about routes in the CakePHP cookbook under Defining Routes. For example, a custom route can look like this:
Router::connect(
'/the_url_you_want_to_use/*', array('controller' => 'sc_users', 'action' => 'index')
);
You need to read up about CakePHP routing, look at the examples under 'defining routes'. Update your question with what you would actually like your URLs to look like and we will be able to help you more effectively.
That's simple :
there is a file called routes.php in /config directory :
You can do url rewriting stuff there like this :
Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'cmsPage', 'action' => 'render'));
You can pass more complicated variables to your controller :
Router::connect('/:id-:lang-:profile-:firstName-:lastName-:profile.htm',
array('controller' => 'profiles','action' => 'view'),
array('id'=>'[0-9]*', 'lang'=>'fr','firstName'=>'[^-]*','lastNAme'=>'[^-]*','profile' => $util->keywords['profiles'][0]['fr'], 'pass' => array('id', 'lang'),'profile' => $util->keywords2['profiles'][0]['en'])
)
;
As you can see in the last example I have passed 2 parameters to the controller through 'pass' => array('id', 'lang')
Would like http://websites.com/users/username1 URL structure
In your app/config/routes.php file you could add:
Router::connect('/users/*', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'index'));
This would route all requests to /users/ to the index action of the users controller. If you want to use a different action, just replace 'index' with the action you prefer to use.
