I'm trying to remove the action in the cakephp url and add a slug inflector, to be more clear this is my expected output:
from this: example.com/posts/view/81/This is a test post
to this: example.com/posts/This-is-a-test-post
This is my current code:
That gives me this output: example.com/posts/view/This is a test post
Controller:
public function view($title = null) {
if (!$title) {
throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid post'));
}
$post = $this->Post->findByTitle($title);
if (!$post) {
throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid post'));
}
$this->set('post', $post);
}
view.ctp:
$this->Html->link($post['Post']['title'], array('action' => 'view', $post['Post']['title']));
I also tried this one,this link being my reference CakePHP: Use post title as the slug for view method :
Output: example.com/posts/view/21/This-is-a-test-post
Controller:
function view($id) {
$this->Post->id = $id;
$this->set('post', $this->Post->read());
}
view.ctp
$this->Html->link($post['Post']['title'], array('action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id'], Inflector::slug($post['Post']['title'],'-')));
below are the other links that I tried but failed, I also tried the modifying the routes.php but can't make the proper code to make it work
