http://domain.com/foo/c:1
How can I write working router::connect to send such links to
controller=listings
action=search
named array(cat=1) the id I do not know, it's a dynamic url
Please take note, that in the url it is "c" but I need to forward it as "cat".
Thanks in advance!
You can specify the routing as follow in the Config/routes.php.
```
Router::connect(
'/:query/*', array('controller' => 'listings', 'action' => 'search'), array(
'params' => array('query', 'cat'),
'named' => array(
'query', 'cat'
)
)
);
```
and specify the link as
```
echo $this->Html->link('text goes here', array('controller' => 'listings', 'action' => 'search', 'query' => 'foo', 'cat' => 1));
```

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?
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 about us page url like below:
base_url/cmsPages/index/cmsid:1
And in routes.php i have defined
Router::connect(
'/about_us',
array('controller' => 'cmsPages', 'action' => 'index', 'cmsid' => 1),
);
But i am not getting cmsid in $this->request->params['named']['cmsid'] at index action.
Please help, how can i achieve this.
You can use following:
public function index($cmsid = null) {
// some code here...
}
// routes.php
Router::connect(
'/about_us',
array('controller' => 'cmsPages', 'action' => 'index'),
array('pass'=>array('cmsid'=>1))
);
for detailed information please visit following link :
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html#passing-parameters-to-action
Try this code for getting named parameter
Router::connectNamed(array('id'));
Router::connect('/about-us:id', array(
'plugin' => false
'controller' => 'cmsPages',
'action' => 'index'
),array(
"pass"=>array("id")
),array(
'id' => '[0-9]+'
)
);
If you are using named parameters, you can define this route
Router::connect(
'/about_us',
array('controller' => 'cmsPages', 'action' => 'index'),
array('cmsid'=>1)
);
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.
I have the following 2 routes.
Router::connect('/photo-gallery/:slug-:id',
array('controller' => 'company_categories', 'action' => 'photo_gallery'),
array(
'pass' => array('id'),
'id' => "[0-9]+"
)
);
Router::connect('/:slug-my-string-:id',
array('controller' => 'company_categories', 'action' => 'category_companies'),
array(
'id' => "[0-9]+",
'pass' => array('id')
)
);
While the first works, the second doesn't.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank you!
Your second route doesn't work because the whole string ":slug-my-string" is parsed as a route element not just ":slug" as you expect. Reference.
The solution that I finally found and it works as expected is the following:
Router::connect('/:slug-:string-:id',
array('controller' => 'company_categories', 'action' => 'category_companies'),
array(
'id' => "[0-9]+",
'string' => "my-string"
'pass' => array('id')
)
);
This way I can handle all kind of static strings used in route url pattern and there is no problem anymore regarding the parsing of dashes ("-"), which I think it was the problem.
