Hello,
I have a custom CMS I built using php with classes and functions, but it is not MVC. I am going to try to re-create it in Yii.
I want to be able to have the user create their own url’s so in the old code I had something like this (more complex, but this gets the point across)
.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteRule ^site/cache/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ /site/assets/phmagick/?width=$1&resizeFile=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site/content.php?permalink=$1 [L]
Then the index.php file basically did
select from DB where permalink=’$permalink’
if result create page, else deliver 404 page.
The CMS also had modules (calendar, press releases, and others)
The modules where all under /site/
Example.
so my htaccess rule that routed everything to index.php was ingnored as the URL was to a valid file.
How can I achieve the same in Yii. Basically if they go to /site/calendar it checks for a Yii controller (calendar) if it is not existent it passes (site/calendar) to a "pages" controller…
Is this possible?
This is my first try at MVC and I figure it would be good to do a real world project, one that I will use, and more importantly one that i have already created, so I know exactly what I want to achieve…
