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')); ?>

In CakePHP 2.x there is a HTML Helper which allows for creating hyperlinks within Views.
If I use this...
<?php
echo $this->Html->link('Navigation',
array('controller' => 'navigations', 'action' => 'foo')
);
?>
... it will generate a URL to /navigations/foo (NavigationsController::foo).
However if I use index as the action
<?php
echo $this->Html->link('Navigation',
array('controller' => 'navigations', 'action' => 'index')
);
?>
The URL becomes /navigations.
I understand about "index" being a default when it comes to webpages. However, I actually need the URL to be /navigations/index, or at the very least have a trailing slash (/navigations/).
Is this possible?
Fix the AJAX URLs instead
With regards to the explanation in your comment, I would argue that the "correct" way of fixing this problem is to use proper root relative URLs for the AJAX calls, as changing the URL structure only cloakes the underlying problem, that is targeting non-unique resources.
Personally I alwas use Router::url() to generate the URLs, either in the specific script files when serving them via PHP, or by writing out configuration in for example the layout, being it globally so that the scripts can access it when needed:
<script>
var config = {
navigationDataUrl: <?php echo json_encode(
Router::url(array('controller' => 'Navigations', 'action' => 'get_data'))
) ?>
};
</script>
or by configuring possibly existing JS objects.
<script>
navigation.dataUrl = <?php echo json_encode(
Router::url(array('controller' => 'Navigations', 'action' => 'get_data'))
) ?>;
</script>
Connect routes with an explicit index part
That being said, for the sake of completion, it is possible to force the index part to not be dropped, by connecting routes that explicitly define that part, as opposed to using the :action route element, like:
Router::connect('/:controller/index', array('action' => 'index'));
which would match/catch URL arrays like yours before they are being handled by CakePHPs default controller index catchall route, which looks like:
Router::connect('/:controller', array('action' => 'index'), array('defaultRoute' => true));

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 am working on CakePHP and I have a URL http://admin.example.com/Pages .
How can I create http://admin.example.com/Pages.html ? Is there any solution or component to solve this issue?
According to CakeBook , You can define extensions you want to parse in routes
E.g. Write the code below in app/Config/routes.php
Router::parseExtensions('html');
This will allow you to send .html extenstion in routes(url)
Not create a link
E.g:
$this->Html->link('Link title', array(
'controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'index',
'ext' => 'html'
));
When you click that link you will get url in browser something like this
http://admin.example.com/pages/index.html
Do you really need this? CakePHP is automatically render view files from View folder
You can create (if its PagesController and index methond) index.ctp in app/View/Pages folder and it will be automatically render.
You can use file_get_contents function to read files. Something like this:
// in controller
function index() {
$content = file_get_contents('path/to/file.html');
echo $content;
die();
}
I have a problem with Routes in CakePHP. Let me explain.
I'm using authentication through the Auth component. I have a routing prefix called account.
When I want to edit a user, I'm calling the users controller which gives me a URL like:
/account/users/edit/5
What I want is to have a URL like:
/account/edit/5
So I changed my router like this:
Router::connect('/:prefix/edit/:id',
array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'edit'),
array('pass' => array('id'), 'id' => '[0-9]+')
);
which worked when I try to access /account/edit/5
My problem is located in my view. How can I access this route using the Html->link helper?
So far, I'm just doing it like this:
'/'.$this->Session->read('Auth.User.role').'/edit/'.$this->Session->read('Auth.User.id')
But it's not really clean in my opinion. I want to use the helper.
Thanks a lot for your help
Using a prefix "account" would mean needing an action like "account_edit" in your controller. That's probably not what you want. Also why put the "id" in url when it's already there in the session? Why not just use url "/account" for all users and get the id (and role if required) from session in the action?
Router::connect('/account',
array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'edit')
);
This would be the clean way to generate required url:
$this->Html->link('Account', array(
'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'edit'
));
// Will return url "/account"
In general always use array form to specify url to benefit from reverse routing.
everything is just fine except router. it should be
Router::connect('/account/*',
array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'edit')
);
and creating anchor link in various way using Helper you can CHECK HERE
have custom pagination in my cakephp view. before that i made some custom routing changes.
problem is that links leads to pages like
http://localhost/myapp/foos/view/news/page:2
instead of
http://localhost/myapp/news/page:2
so, part with foos/view/ not have to be part of the link.
tried to change url with several custom options, like
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
but no luck, because i always have foos/view/ in url.
can you help me how can i get rid of that foos/view?
thank you very much in advance!
UPDATE: i manage to do "something", but not enough, by adding following lines:
$options = array('url'=> array('controller' => 'news' ) );
$paginator->options($options);
now, my link looks like:
http://localhost/myapp/news/index/page:2
how can i get rid of that "index" in url?
The following line is more about passing various pieces of URL information to the view:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
I think what you want to look into is the helper declaration in your Controller:
var $helpers = (
'SomeHelper',
'AnotherHelper',
'Paginator' => array(
'url' => array('controller'=>'news')
)
);
If you want finer control of a custom route like the one you have then try
'url' => '/news'
I haven't used PaginatorHelper in a while - so I could be egregiously on the wrong track - but I believe that's a good start.
Also, take a look at the Paginator Helper page for where it mentions $options and then take a look at Router::url() as the former page recommends.
I had a case where I am working on a project using CakePHP 2.1 (This thread is tagged as 1.3) with a dynamic admin route to display pages like this:
Router::connect('/admin/main/*', array('controller' => 'adminPages', 'action' => 'display'));
With a query string parameter, that produces a dynamic url like this: http://mydomain.com/adminPages/main/...?page=1
The link route, was incorrect for our needs and found I could alter the url directly by using this:
$this->Paginator->options(array(
'url' => array(
'controller' => 'admin/main/my-display',
)
));
For me it made a link: http://mydomain.com/admin/main/my-display?page=1 - which was the correct url we were looking for. If I used a string, as described above, it appends itself to the url, like: http://mydomain.com/adminPages/main/.../admin/main/my-display?page=1
In view :
<?php
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => array('controller' => '','action' =>'your-custom-url')));
?>
In routes.php :
<?php
Router::connect('/your-custom-url/*', array('controller' => 'Controller', 'action' => 'function'));
?>
