I have different modules folder like user, cms, importcsv etc.
Here, I want to modify the URL so that all module names are replaced with the string admin and remain same for the controller, action and hide parameter
For example:
user/profile/view corresponds to admin/profile/view
cms/site/setting corresponds to admin/site/setting
I have tried it like this, but it doesn't work:
'rules'=>array(
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'admin/<controller:\w+>' => 'user/<controller>',
),
Do you have multiple controllers in each module? If not, maybe you should just use a single admin module. However, if you really need these things to be separate modules, then maybe you need that last route to look like:
'admin/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => 'user/<controller>/<action>',

'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'rules'=>array(
'gii'=>'gii',
'gii/<controller:\w+>'=>'gii/<controller>',
'gii/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'gii/<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<param:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>'=>'<controller>/index',
),
'showScriptName'=>false,
Those are the rules I have applied.
If I do:
http://something.dev/experience/listByColor/Red
I get all experiences with color Red.
actionListByColor($color);
This works.
I wish the same to work when the user does:
http://something.dev/experience/color/Red
I've tried those rules:
'experience/color/'=>'experience/listByColor/'
But I always get:
System couldn't found the requested action "color".
How can I make this work?
It seems that urlFormat is NOT fit for this, because it seems to expect a valid path on the left side of => and, on this case, we haven't any valid path there.
No other way?
You forgot the params/id part. Use the appropriate rule below:
'experience/color/<param:\w+>'=>'experience/listByColor/'
'experience/color/<id:\d+>'=>'experience/listByColor/'
'experience/color/<color>'=>'experience/listByColor/'
May I make a route of request not two-composite (controler/action), but consisting of bigger number of parts in YII?
You can set route parameters like this:
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'showScriptName'=>false,
'rules'=>array(
array('<controller>/<action>', 'pattern'=>'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<relation:\w+>/<relationId:\d+>'),
),
),
Variables relation and relationId will be available in action method like GET parameters.
e.g. url user/update/car/12 will call user controller and update action, and in GET array will be available variables relation='car' and relationId=12
I have various products with their own set paths. Eg:
electronics/mp3-players/sony-hg122
fitness/devices/gymboss
If want to be able to access URLs in this format. For example:
http://www.mysite.com/fitness/devices/gymboss
http://www.mysite.com/electronics/mp3-players/sony-hg122
My strategy was to override the "init" function of the SiteController in order to catch the paths and then direct it to my own implementation of a render function. However, this doesn't allow me to catch the path.
Am I going about it the wrong way? What would be the correct strategy to do this?
** EDIT **
I figure I have to make use of the URL manager. But how do I dynamically add path formats if they are all custom in a database?
Eskimo's setup is a good solid approach for most Yii systems. However, for yours, I would suggest creating a custom UrlRule to query your database:
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.url#using-custom-url-rule-classes
Note: the URL rules are parsed on every single Yii request, so be careful in there. If you aren't efficient, you can rapidly slow down your site. By default rules are cached (if you have a cache setup), but I don't know if that applies to dynamic DB rules (I would think not).
In your URL manager (protected/config/main.php), Set urlFormat to path (and toptionally set showScriptName to false (this hides the index.php part of the URL))
'urlManager' => array(
'urlFormat' => 'path',
'showScriptName'=>false,
Next, in your rules, you could setup something like:
catalogue/<category_url:.+>/<product_url:.+> => product/view,
So what this does is route and request with a structure like catalogue/electronics/ipods to the ProductController actionView. You can then access the category_url and product_url portions of the URL like so:
$_GET['category_url'];
$_GET['product_url'];
How this rule works is, any URL which starts with the word catalogue (directly after your domain name) which is followed by another word (category_url), and another word (product_url), will be directed to that controller/action.
You will notice that in my example I am preceding the category and product with the word catalogue. Obviously you could replace this with whatever you prefer or leave it out all together. The reason I have put it in is, consider the following URL:
http://mywebsite.com/site/about
If you left out the 'catalogue' portion of the URL and defined your rule only as:
<category_url:.+>/<product_url:.+> => product/view,
the URL Manager would see the site portion of the URL as the category_url value, and the about portion as the product_url. To prevent this you can either have the catalogue protion of the URL, or define rules for the non catalogue pages (ie; define a rule for site/about)
Rules are interpreted top to bottom, and only the first rule is matched. Obviously you can add as many rules as you need for as many different URL structures as you need.
I hope this gets you on the right path, feel free to comment with any questions or clarifications you need
How can I convert these URL to SEO friendly URL I tried Url manager in yii but didn't get the proper result is there any good tutorial regarding url manager
http://localhost/nbnd/search/city?city=new+york
http://localhost/nbnd/search/manualsearch?tosearch=Hotel+%26+Restaurants+&city=New+york&yt0=Search&searchtype=
I tried to the following setting in url manager
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<city:\d>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
which works with url http://localhost/nbnd/search/city/city/Delhi
I wish to reduce this url to http://localhost/nbnd/search/city/Delhi
and the link I generating in my view is <?php echo CHtml::link(CHtml::encode($data->city), array('/search/city', 'city'=>$data->city)); ?>
This generates link as http://localhost/nbnd/search/city?city=Delhi
How can I convert that link to like http://localhost/nbnd/search/city/Delhi
The rule should be (to remove the extra city, which is the GET parameter name):
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<city:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>', // not city:\d, since Delhi is a string, not digit
So the rule should be able to match the parameter name, incase you had foo/Delhi, you'd use <foo:\w+>.
And to remove the ? use appendParams of CUrlManager, (in your urlManager config):
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'appendParams'=>true,
// ... more properties ...
'rules'=>array(
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<city:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
// ... more rules ...
)
)
When appendParams
is true, GET parameters will be appended to the path info and separate from each other using slashes.
Update: Incase you have more than one parameter being passed to the action i.e:
http://localhost/nbnd/search/manualsearch/Delhi?tosearch=restaurants
Use a /* at the end of the rule:
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<city:\w+>/*'=>'<controller>/<action>'
To get urls of form:
http://localhost/nbnd/search/manualsearch/Delhi/tosearch/restaurants
In Yii we can create urls dynamically For eg.
$url=$this->createUrl($route,$params);
$route='post/read'.
$params=array('id'=>100)
we would obtain the following URL:
/index.php?r=post/read&id=100
To change the URL format, we should configure the urlManager application component so that createUrl can automatically switch to the new format and the application can properly understand the new URLs:
array(
......
'components'=>array(
......
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
),
),
);
WE will obtain this
/index.php/post/read/id/100
You can refer this link for user friendly urls in yii
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.url
My present URL structure is as below:
http://www.mydomain.com/module/controller/action
I need to hide the module section of the URL. Is there any way this can be done?
Thanks.
To point the URL http://www.mydomain.com/customer/login to the module,
in you config (protected/config/main.php) under urlManager:
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules'=>array(
'customer/login' => 'module/controller/action',
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
),
),
To make any controller action go to module/controller/action (as discussed below) you can use:
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'module/controller/action',
or
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'module/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>',
Depending on whether the controller/action part of the value (on the right hand side of the =>) is a set value, or a variable.
So if you want any controller/action to go to the exact url module/controller/action, you would use the first example. For example if you want the controller/action site/test to go to module/controller/action, you would use the first example above
If you want any controller/action to go to a dynamic controller/action you use the second. For example, if you want the controller/action site/test to go to module/site/test, you would use the second example above
This new rule must be above the 3 default Yii rules as they are read and top to bottom and match the first rule it finds only
Yes, you can define any url rules in your config.
Your url rule may look something like this:
'<controller:(foo|bar)>/<action>' => 'module/<controller>/<action>',
