Map URL with dashes to a rule in URL manager

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi there

I have the following in my main config array




    'urlManager'=>array(

	'urlFormat'=>'path',

	'rules'=>array(

		'category/<action:\w+>' => '/category/GetTopLevelCategory',

		'product/<action:\w+>' => '/product/GetOneProduct',

		'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',

		'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',

		'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>'

	 ),

	'showScriptName'=>false,

)

This works fine and the url


  DOMAIN.com/product/awesomeproductname

goes to the getOneProduct action of the product controller.

However I would like the url to be


     DOMAIN.com/product/awesome-product-name

But this doesnt work and I get a 404 error. How do I make the route take dashes ?

Thanks

Hi,

pearl regular expressions does not include dashes in ‘\w’.

Try with that:




    'urlManager'=>array(

	'urlFormat'=>'path',

	'rules'=>array(

		(...)

		'product/<action>' => '/product/GetOneProduct', //or

		'product/<action:.*>' => '/product/GetOneProduct', //but former is shorter <img src='http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

		(...)

	 ),

	'showScriptName'=>false,

    )
