how to config urlManager rules with aliases and $_GET parameter

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hi,

for my current (advanced) project i just need one controller (SiteController). So there is no need to show it in the url. Thats why i added this rule to the frontend config:


'urlManager' => [

    'rules' => array(

        '<alias:product|contact|about>' => 'site/<alias>',

    ),

This is working fine and localhost/product points to localhost/site/product.

Of course, i activated prettyUrl and added the this default rules to the common config:


 'rules' => array(

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

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

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

            ),

Now i want to access a GET parameter like this: localhost/product/productname. But i get the error:

but localhost/site/product/productname is working properly… The “productname” should be $_GET[‘id’]. What do i have to change to make this happen?

Thanks!

A dirty solution:

if you have only few products, make a default product controller and product names as actions.

Sorry for a real answer as my solutions for urlmanagement are not working in yii2 advanced.

I got the solution via stackoverflow.com.

i had to put all the common rules into the frontend rules and add a second alias rule:




'rules' => array(

    '<alias:contact|about>' => 'site/<alias>',

    '<alias:product>/<id:\w+>' => 'site/<alias>',

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

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

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

),
