Create a Url for every entry in the table

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi so lets say I have a business name in my table: business called = "Romano Pizza".

I’d like users to be able to type, www.mydomain.com/businesss/Romano Pizza

and it redirect the user and do the view(id) of that business.

I’m unsure how to do this, I would assume it has something to do with the url management thing.

You can do this as

with id and title

in your config/main.php in urlManager

you need to have things like as


      '/business/<id:\d+>/<title:\w+>'=>'business/view'

This will do a url as


          domain.com/business/1/perochak

But if you want to have as


          domain.com/business/perochak

Then you need to have either a column named url which must be unique and urlManager as


      '/business/<url:\w+>'=>'business/view'

But if you still would like to have the url as


          domain.com/business/perochak

without any new column in db, then do it like as, in UrlManager


      '/business/<title>'=>'business/view'

in actionView as




        $title= Yii::app()->request->getQuery('title');

        $entry= Entry::model()->find("title='".$title."'");

Enjoy the way you want…
