I'm trying to set up a CakePHP redirect route, but I'm stuck. Reading the book didn't help so far.
I want to redirect the URL /mysite/xyz to /mysite/en/xyz (which includes a language parameter)
The route for the final URL, /mysite/en/xyz, is set up like so, and works fine:
Router::connect(
'/:language/:category/*',
array('controller' => 'content', 'action' => 'index'),
array(
'named' => array('language', 'category'),
'language' => 'en|de',
'category' => 'abc|def|xyz',
'pass' => array('language', 'category')
)
);
The redirect route is set up like so:
Router::redirect(
'/:category/*',
array('controller' => 'content', 'action' => 'index', 'language' => 'en'),
array(
'named' => array('category'),
'category' => 'abc|def|xyz',
'pass' => array('language'),
'persist' => array('category')
)
);
However, if I now access the URL /mysite/xyz, I'm redirected to /mysite/mysite/en/xyz/en - note the duplication of parameters.
How can I set this up correctly?

sorry, my English so bad.
In CakePHP 2.x, I want to redirect old link to new link in my website. But i got some issue.
Example:
mywebsite.com/news/news redirect to mywebsite.com/news
I use:
Router::redirect ('/news/news',
array('controller' => 'categories',
'action' => 'index',
'slug' => 'news'
),
array(
'status' => '301'
)
);
Router::connect('/news', array(
'controller' => 'categories',
'action' => 'index',
'slug' => 'news'
));
=> OK, it work.
But
Example:
mywebsite.com/news/news/a-b-c redirect to mywebsite.com/news/a-b-c
I use:
Router::redirect('/news/news/:slug',
array(
'controller' => 'articles',
'action' => 'view',
'category' => 'news'
),
array(
'status' => '301'
)
);
Router::connect('/news/:slug',
array(
'controller' => 'articles',
'action' => 'view',
'category' => 'news'
)
);
=> result is: mywebsite.com/articles/view/category:news
Please help, thank you !
You are redirecting all requests from news/news/* to articles/view/category:*
Do you need the 301 redirect in there at all?
Router::connect('/news/news/:slug',
array(
'controller' => 'news',
'action' => 'slug'
)
);
But on this basis, the controller will expect a defined action for every type of a-b-c action that can be passed as a slug
My current url is
baseUrl/categories/category/categoryName/subcatName...
To convert this url into
baseUrl/categoryName/subcatName...
i am using following route
Router::connect(
'/:slug/*',
array(
'controller' => 'Categories',
'action' => 'category'
),
array(
'pass' => array('slug'),
'slug'=>'[a-zA-Z]+'
)
);
but it is creating problem with urls like:
baseUrl/home
baseUrl/myaccount ..
etc.
and redirect them to category action.
The common solution to this problem is to add a single letter (like Reddit).
baseUrl/r/slug/something-awesome
That way, you can make the route:
Router::connect(
'/r/:slug/*',
array(
'controller' => 'Categories',
'action' => 'category'
),
array(
'pass' => array('slug'),
'slug'=>'[a-zA-Z]+'
)
);
I am trying to redirect /my-old-url/$slug to /news/$slug in CakePHP with the following code:
Router::redirect(
'/my-old-url/*',
array('controller' => 'news', 'action' => 'view'),
array('persist' => true)
);
Using this code throws an error (may be a bug?)
Warning (2): Invalid argument supplied for foreach() [CORE/Cake/Routing/Route/CakeRoute.php, line 381]
public function persistParams($url, $params) {
foreach ($this->options['persist'] as $persistKey) {
Even trying the following code does not work:
Router::redirect(
'/my-old-url/:slug',
array('controller' => 'news', 'action' => 'view'),
array('persist' => array('slug'))
);
This code redirects my to /news/view without any parameters.
I use the following code to connect the news URLs:
Router::connect('/news',
array('controller' => 'news', 'action' => 'index')
);
Router::connect('/news/:slug',
array('controller' => 'news', 'action' => 'view'),
array('pass' => array('slug'))
);
What to do?
Have you properly setup your routing for the new url?
Router::connect(
'/news/:slug',
array('controller' => 'news', 'action' => 'view'),
array('pass' => array('slug'), 'slug' => '[\w]')
);
Then have it do the redirect with
Router::redirect(
'/old-url/:slug',
array('controller' => 'news', 'action' => 'view'),
array('persistent' => true, 'pass' => array('slug'))
);
I don't believe you need to define slug again ([\w]) in the redirect but if it doesn't work then try it ('slug' => '[\w]' after 'pass').
Obviously you need to test if /news/test works as expected with the routing before trying the redirect.
Try following code
Router::connect('/my-old-url/*', array('controller' => 'News','action' => 'view'),array('params' => '[a-zA-Z0-9]+'));
There probably was a bug in CakePHP. Upgrading to the latest version (currently v2.3.9) did the trick. The code in my question does work.
I have a the following custom route (which works fine):
Router::connect('/:city', array('controller' => 'dealers', 'action' => 'index'), array('city' => '[a-z]+'));
With this route, I am trying to get paginated pages 2, 3, …:
Router::connect('/:city/:id', array('controller' => 'dealers', 'action' => 'index'),
array(
'pass' => array('city', 'id'),
'city' => '[a-z]+',
'id' => '[0-9]+'
)
);
The first problem now is, that if I enter domain.com/washington/2 it doesn't pass the id to Pagination and I still get page 1.
The second problem is that I do not get the Pagination Helper to write the above link. If I try this in my view:
$this->Paginator->options(array
('url'=> array(
$city[0]['City']['url'],
$this->params['id']
)
)
);
It still gives me:
http://domain.com/dealers/index/washington/page:2
I apologize in advance if this is a no brainer, but I am new to this and couldn't figure it out with the available questions/answers here, or the docs.
UPDATE 1:
I now tried the following for domain.com/washington/page/2 , but it just routes to pagination page 1:
Router::connect('/:city/:slug/:id',
array('controller' => 'dealers', 'action' => 'index'),
array(
'pass' => array('city', 'slug', 'id'),
'city' => '[a-z]+',
'slug' => '[a-z]+',
'id' => '[0-9]+'
)
);
In the action I am doing this:
public function index($slug = null, $id = null) {some code}
In the view I added:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
Still no luck, I'd be very very glad if someone could help out!
I finally got the url domain.com/washington/page/2 to work by adding this to AppController (beforeFilter):
if (isset($this->request->params['page'])) {
$this->request->params['named']['page'] = $this->request->params['page'];
}
And by adding this route:
Router::connect('/:city/page/:page',
array('controller' => 'dealers', 'action' => 'index'),
array(
'pass' => array('city', 'page'),
'city' => '[a-z]+',
'page' => '[0-9]+'
)
);
However I do not really understand what happens here, and if this is a good way of doing it. If someone could briefly explain, I'd be interested to know.
See my comment above :)
Also, you may be wanting to use this:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
This will essentially pass the arguments from the URL to the paginator helper.
In my CakePHP App I'd like to pass arguments in a custom route.
What works now
(domain/controller/action/param)
domain.com/dealers/view/1
What I'd like to do
(domain/param/controller/action/param)
domain.com/washington/dealers/view/1
This is my code in routes.php:
Router::connect('/:city/dealers/view/:id', array('controller' => 'dealers', 'action' => 'view'),
array(
'pass' => array('city', 'id')
),
array('city' => '[a-z]+')
);
This just redirects domain.com/washington/dealers/view/1 to domain.com/dealers/index for the obvious reason that I did not properly pass the parameters. Does anyone know what I am missing?
city should not be in a separate array ex:
Router::connect(
'/:city/dealers/view/:id',
array('controller' => 'dealers', 'action' => 'index'),
array(
'pass' => array('city', 'id'),
'city' => '[a-z]+'
));
