I'm trying to get a link in cakephp to point to a specific place on another page but what I imagined would work doesn't.
I'm using
<a name="Telstra"></a>
Telstra
Can anyone tell me the correct way?
You need to use the built-in link function of CakePHP. try to use this code.
<?php echo $this->Html->link('NameOfLink', array('controller' => 'ControllerName', 'action' => 'FunctionName/#Telstra')); ?>
See this url from cakephp docs:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/html.html#HtmlHelper::url
For creating link only
echo $this->Html->url(array(
"controller" => "posts",
"action" => "search",
"#" => "first"
));
and in your case for creating the link with anchor tag,
echo $this->Html->link('Telestra',array(
"controller" => "sponsors",
"action" => "index",
"#" => "Telstra"
));
If you want to load on a specific part of the page you must use ID on the element of your target rather than Name.
Example:
//Your target element on a page
<a name="Telstra"></a>
//URL that will redirect you to your target element.
Telstra
Or might as well code it the cakePhp style. :)
//URL
<?php echo $this->Html->link('Telstra', array('controller' => 'YourController', 'action' => 'YourFUnction', '#TargetElement'));
//Target Element
<a name="Telstra"></a>
Good Luck!
you need put a route in the folde of configuration /app/config/routes.php:
Router::connect('/index', array('controller' => 'yourController', 'action' => 'index'));
or
Router::connect('/index/*', array('controller' => 'yourController', 'action' => 'index'));
I think the parameter you're meaning to put is 'id' and not 'name' and I think you can just put #idName instead of the whole link.
For example:
<a id="Telstra"></a>
Telstra

I have a function in my application which the users can upload files to the webserver. Then these uploaded files will appear in another page wherein another type of users can click on the link. Once the link is clicked, a new tab will open and the file will be shown.
But I can't seem to do it. Using the 'target' => '_blank' is not working, or I may have put it on the wrong part of the code.
In my case, when you click on the link, the file will load on the same tab.
Here's my code:
<?php
echo $this->Html->link($staff_uploads['StaffUpload']['title'], array(
'controller' => 'websites',
'action' => 'view',
'target' => '_blank',
$staff_uploads['StaffUpload']['iduploads']
)
);
?>
Thank you in advance!
The correct code is:
<?php
echo $this->Html->link($staff_uploads['StaffUpload']['title'], array(
'controller' => 'websites',
'action' => 'view',
$staff_uploads['StaffUpload']['iduploads']
), array('target' => '_blank')
);
?>
And do read the documentation as burzum has suggested.
Read the documentation.
HTML attribute options go into the 3rd argument of the link() method, not the second which is the URL as string or array.
Problems like this can be simply resolved by using the documentation.
Is it possible to identify a controller and pagename in the same url
Router::connect('/:controller/');
Router::connect('/:pagename/', array('controller' => 'home','action'=>'index'));
www.example.com/controller
so that the controller goes to the :controller/index
www.example.com/pagename
so that the page goes to home/index
Its really confusing what really you wants. If a url ends with :controller like www.example.com/posts its generally map index action. Now if the url ends with pagename, means action, like www.example.com/mypage, you can map that as-
Router::connect('/mypage', array('controller' => 'homes', 'action' => 'index'));
So when a user browse www.example.com/mypage, it will map to HomesController and index action.
Try following code for pagename:
Router::connect('/:slug', array('controller' => 'home', 'action' => 'index'));
UPDATE 1
If you want to treat www.example.com/user as same as www.example.com/users then you need to add following, because CakePHP controller name is plural as per CakePHP naming convention:
Router::connect('/user/:action/*', array('controller' => 'users'));
UPDATE 2
Router::connect(':slug') overwrite all of default routing. So you need to use custom routing class as like as :
App::uses('SlugRoute', 'Routing/Route');
Router::connect(
'/:slug',
array('controller' => 'home', 'action' => 'index'),
array('routeClass' => 'SlugRoute')
);
I want to remove /index in URL.
I have already tried the following in routes.php file :
Router::connect('/Home/:index', array('controller' => 'Homes'));
and :
Router::connect('/Home/', array('controller' => 'Homes','action'=>'index'));
Try
Router::connect('/Home', array('controller' => 'Homes','action'=>'index'));
Use this code for create link
<?php
echo $this->Html->link(__('YOUR_TEXT'),array('controller' => 'Homes', 'action' => 'index',array('class' => "", 'id' => ""));
?>
If you are creating link with this code then if is there any change made in routes then cakephp will update link according to that
I am making blog and url route is like this-
Router::connect('/blog/c/:catid/*',
array('controller' => 'blogarticles', 'action' => 'index'));
it works well with url as- /blog/c/3/other-articles
but when i use paginator in view as
echo $this->Paginator->numbers();
it generates url as- /blogarticles/index/other-articles/page:2
What changes should in make in paginator to generate proper url.
Please suggest possible solution , Thanks in advance
This should solve your problem:
$this->Paginator->options(
array(
'controller' => 'blog',
'action' => 'c',
$catid,
$title
)
);
The trick is to pass blog as the controller and c as the action, and all other variables (NOT LIMITED TO $catid and $title) as additional parameters, sequentially!
NOTE: I assumed here that you have "set" $catid and $title from your Controller, to the current "category id" and "title" respecting. I also assumed that your URLs are always in the format: /blog/c/:catid/:title

What you want is to set the options for the PaginatorHelper for that view:
<?php $this->Paginator->options(array('url' => '/blog/c/3/other-articles')); ?>

I am trying to implement routing in cakephp. I want the urls to mapped like this...
www.example.com/nodes/main -> www.example.com/main
www.example.com/nodes/about -> www.example.com/about
So for this I wrote in my config/routes.php file..
Router::connect('/:action', array('controller' => 'nodes'));
Now, I got the thing going but when I click on the links, the url in browser appears like
www.example.com/nodes/main
www.example.com/nodes/about
Is there some way where I can get the urls to appear the way they are routed?
Setting in .htaccess or httpd.conf would be easy - but I don't have access to that.

Vikram
This should work:
Router::connect('/main', array('controller' => 'nodes', 'action' => 'main'));
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'nodes', 'action' => 'about'));
You may also do something more powerful, like this:
$actions = array('main','about');
foreach ($actions as $action){
Router::connect('/$action', array('controller' => 'nodes', 'action' => '$action'));
}
Basically if your links are created with Html helper, with the following format:
<?php echo $this->Html->link('your link', array('controller'=>'nodes', 'action'=>'main'));?>
Then the Cake will convert the links properly to www.example.com/main
But if your links are
<?php echo $this->Html->link('your link', '/nodes/main/');?>
they will point to www.example.com/nodes/main
