How to custom url

[andy_s (Arekandrei)]

I see it works, but also I see now we are talking about different things. You talk about creating urls and I talk about parsing them All urls are created fine, but when the request “toronto/downtown/restaurants” comes, action details/showByFoods is running (instead of restaurants/showByArea).

Hi, guys thanks for test project where we can understand very easily and I did some changes and all links goes to one controller/action instead of different.

Please download test project and see the result.

No. The right action is run.

I told you I tested it.

Creating and parsing urls works.

Actually, you are right.

I stand corrected.

So, how are you going to solve the problem? You can make only one action for all kinds of aliases or add some information into url rules to distinguish them, e.g.: <cityAlias:.>/restaurants/food/<foodAlias:.>.

As our problem is first alias e.g. <cityAlias:.*>

My task is to make user and SEO friendly urls.

our first priority is to get this SEO urls.

mydomain/toronto/restaurants/sushi.htm

mydomain/toronto/downtown/restaurants.htm

mydomain/toronto/restaurants/free-wifi.htm

if we could get these so any idea to some nice and SEO friendly urls?

what about this

toronto.mydomain/restaurants/sushi.htm

toronto.mydomain/downtown/restaurants.htm

toronto.mydomain/restaurants/free-wifi.htm

What you guys says about this as <cityAlias:.*> comes on subdomain position.

[jacmoe (Jacob Moena)]

Now I used these rules:

'restaurants/<cityAlias>/food/<foodAlias>'=>'details/showByFoods',

'restaurants/<cityAlias>/feature/<featureAlias>'=>'restaurants/showByFeatures',

'restaurants/<cityAlias>/area/<areaAlias>'=>'restaurants/showByArea',

Gives me:

restaurants/toronto/food/sushi.html => details controller

restaurants/toronto/area/downtown.html => restaurants controller, showByArea action

restaurants/toronto/feature/wifi.html => restaurants controller, showByFeature action

I think I know why it works now: all rules need to be slightly different - food, feature and area makes them un-same.

And … ?

Does it work?

I am curious.

Since we are a couple of guys who put some effort into solving this, it would be prudent to at least give some feed-back.

That sounds awesome!

I think the URLs are SEO friendly, but they can be tweaked as long as they’re slightly different.
