Hi,
I have a few controllers, Pages (custom),News,Reports etc and on the
front end I'd like to loose the method names from my URLs, eg:
www.mydomain.com/news/category/category_name
becomes
www.mydomain.com/news/category_name
and
www.mydomain.com/news/article/article_name
becomes
www.mydomain.com/news/category_name/article_name
I have this working fine for some controllers using the following route:
$Route->connect ('/news/*', array('controller' => 'news', 'action' => 'index'));
Where I'm coming unstuck is with my Pages controller. Each page
belongs to a category, and I'm using a url friendly version of the
categories name, followed by the same for the artlicles name within my
index function. This works fine if I use a route like so:
$Route->connect ('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'news', 'action' =>
'index'));
with that I can do:
www.mydomain.com/pages/category_name/page_name
what I'm trying to do is loose the 'pages' part of the url, because
the category title signifies the seciton of the site (much in the same
way that 'news' or 'reports' does), and I like to keep things
uniformed.
I've since tried doing:
$Route->connect ('/who_we_are/', array('controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'index','who_we_are'));
$Route->connect ('/who_we_are/*', array('controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'index','who_we_are'));
but this only gives me one of the arguments from the URL, not both, eg
if I debug(func_get_args($this)) at the top of my index() method:
www.mydomain.com/who_we_are
gives me:
[0] => who_we_are
and
www.mydomain.com/who_we_are/company_history
gives me:
[0] => company_history
as you can see, 'who_we_are' has vanished from the url!
I'm not sure if what I'm attempting is possible or not, but I sure hope it is!
many thanks,
Jon
