Overwrite url method in your app_helper.php. Here's what I've done for
keeping language in my urls:
class AppHelper extends Helper {
function url($url = null, $full = false) {
if (is_array($url)) {
$default = Configure::read('Config.defaultLanguage');
if (empty($url['lang']) && isset($this->params['lang'])
&& $this-
>params['lang'] != $default) {
$url['lang'] = $this->params['lang'];
} elseif (isset($url['lang']) && $url['lang'] ==
$default) {
unset($url['lang']);
}
}
return parent::url($url, $full);
}
}
class AppController .....
function redirect($url, $status = null, $exit = true) {
if (is_array($url)) {
if (empty($url['lang']) && isset($this->params['lang'])
&& $this-
>params['lang'] != Configure::read('Config.defaultLanguage')) {
$url['lang'] = $this->params['lang'];
} elseif (isset($url['lang']) && $url['lang'] ==
Configure::read('Config.defaultLanguage')) {
unset($url['lang']);
}
}
return parent::redirect($url, $status, $exit);
}
function beforeFilter() {
if (empty($this->params['lang'])) {
$this->params['lang'] =
Configure::read('Config.defaultLanguage');
}
}
This will put language param into all generated urls but for the
default one (I don't want language prefix for default language -
Shorter urls = better SEO)
Hope this helps.
