Normally in Codeigniter a url by default has two to three segments like this. http://www.yoursite.com/controller/function
My question is, can I replace that function segment for a value if my code is in the index part of the controller.
I have a controller for just user profiles and I'm trying to make that the simplest url possible, so it's easily sharable. For example I would like the url to be something like this http://www.mywebsite.com/author/zazvorniki instead of having to call a function like this. http://www.mywebsite.com/author/user/zazvorniki
Is this possible? Is there a setting I can change to make this possible?
Just add the following route rule.
$route['author/(:any)'] = "author/user/$1";

I've this in my config/routes.php:
$route['music/artist/(:any)'] = "music/artist/index/$1";
I've an artist controller inside controller/music/ and index method.
So if I go to browser with domain.com/music/artist/michael then with the following line in controller I can get the data michael.
$this->uri->segment(3);
Please correct me if I'm wrong but here's the real question.
Now I want to have this on link.
domain.com/music/artist/michael/video/beat-it/
I want to have a video function inside the artist controller and inside I want to get the dynamic data, michael and beat-it.
So the routes config I've these:
$route['music/artist/(:any)'] = "music/artist/index/$1";
$route['music/artist/(:any)/video/(:any)'] = "music/artist/video/$1/$2";
If I go to the video link it seems it just hit the index function.
How can I make the video link work?
Routes will run in the order they are defined. Higher routes will always take precedence over lower ones.
Switch the places of routes. Most specific routes need to be parsed first because (:any) placeholder would take anything there.
$route['music/artist/(:any)/video/(:any)'] = "music/artist/video/$1/$2";
$route['music/artist/(:any)'] = "music/artist/index/$1";
Reference.
So basically this is what I need. I have a router definition like this.
Route::get('view/{postId}', 'PostController#view');
Above router definition will get triggered if the url we request is www.domain.com/view/4. But what I want is I want to appear this url like www.domain.com/[category-of-post]/[titile-of-post] (Ex : www.domain.com/music/easy-chords-in-guitar).
In PostController, I will get the post using the id passed and thus can generate the url what I need. Here is the problem begins. As you can see, I need to redirect to a dynamic url which will look differently for each post. I want to redirect to this dynamic urls but these urls are not defined inside routes.php.
Is this possible in Laravel ?
In short, what I need is, I want to update Illuminate\Routing\RouteCollection::$route array with my dynamically generated url value with corresponding controller action in run time before I am invoking Redirect::to('someurl')
If you need further clarification, I will do it for sure. Please give me your suggestions.
it is simpler than you are thinking.
Route::get('{category}/{title}',['uses' => 'FooController#bar']);
This should be the last route defined in your route list. Any other route should go upper than this one.
this will match www.domain.com/music/easy-chords-in-guitar
rest routes define as you want.
e.g.
Route::get('/',['uses' => 'FooController#home']);
Route::get('about',['uses' => 'FooController#about']);
Route::get('contact',['uses' => 'FooController#contact']);
Route::get('{category}/{title}',['uses' => 'FooController#bar']);
route :
Route::get('action/{slug}', 'HomeController#actionredeemvoucher')->name('home.actionredeemvoucher');
Function in controller:
public function actionredeemvoucher($slug)
{
print_r($slug);
}
lets say my url is:
http://www.mysite.com/controller1/
I want to make routing so it wont look for the controller1, it will search for controller1 as the key.
so I will have a key like array for the controllers
<?php
$controllers_mapArr = array(
'controller1'=>'actual_controler_name',
);
?>
it will execute the value of the controller key 'actual_controler_name' but the URL will show controller1
any ideas?
You can easily do this using codeigniter's routing functionality, you have to add rules in application/config/routes.php file, following are the examples for doing
$route['journals'] = "blogs";
if your url is like http://example.com/journals then your URL will call blogs controller
$route['journals/joe'] = "blogs/users/34";
using this rule your if you access your url http://example.com/journals/joe then it will call blogs controller's users method with 34 as a value for function argument.

Ok found the answer with a littel help from my friend actually is one of the basics in codeigniter
any way there is the answer:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html
Is it possible to create such urls in codeigniter?
http://site.com/shorturl/
Where shorturl isn't a physical controller file, but a variable.
I expect the algorythm for parsing url query to be like this:
1) Search for physical controller file. If exists, do standard codeigniter routine. If not
2) Try to load special controller file, where "shorturl" is a variable. Do further stuff inside that controller.
Thanks in advance
The previous answer seems quite good, but thought I'd share what I'd though of.
If you set your 404_override to point to a controller you have set up as follows:
$route['404_override'] = 'welcome/short';
Any URL that doesn't exist (any short URL for example) would get sent there, where you could do the following to check the value:
public function short() {
$shortCode = $this->uri->segment(1);
}
That would give you the value you need to check. If all is well, do the redirect, if the code doesn't exist, you can then use the show_404 method to actually show the 404 page.
How to implement keyword specific page invocation using PHP codeigniter
Binary search Tree Implementation.
for e.g. in above URL keyword "binary-search-tree-implementaion" is method name or parameter for specific controller. because most of things are dynamic then how web site is going to manage all those things?
I want to implement it for my web site like this
http://example.com/search/digital-camera-price-in-india
I'm not familiar with CodeIgniter, but usually a URI structure like /search/digital-camera-price-in-india would route to the Search controller and digitalCameraPriceInIndia action.
/search/digital-camera-price-in-india
=> SearchController::digitalCameraPriceInIndiaAction()
If you want to route similar URIs (different products for example) to a catch-all method, you've have to setup custom routing.
The CodeIgniter documentation for routing is here
As per #chriso's answer you will need to set up a custom route to achieve this as by default the uri structure is /controller/action/params. So in your config/routes.php file you can add something like:
$route['search/(:any)'] =
"search/some_action";
And then use the relevant uri segment (
$this->uri->segment[1]
I think) as your search parameter.
if you set up your route like this:
$route['^search/(:any)'] = "search/my_controller_function/$1";
Then you can just write your function like this:
public function my_controller_function($search_input)
{
// your code here
}
