Hi
I’m new to Yii. I’m liking what I see, but I have a problem.
I’m trying to create routes that have usernames as the first parameter.
I’ve worked out how to get the index to route to the login action of the user controller:
'<user:\w+>' => 'user/login'
But if I try to route to a specific action I get a 404. eg /myusername/myaction
'<user:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => 'user/<action>'
What am I doing wrong?
Please read this guide’s section: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/topics.url#parameterizing-routes
Hi Andy. I have read the guide. I can’t see what I’m doing wrong.
with:
'<user:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => 'user/<action>'
I’m defining two parameters; user and action. Both can be any string containing letters, digits, and underscores, and are separated by a forward slash.
The route is for the user controller, using the action defined at the end of the pattern.
I can’t see how it is fundamentally different from the default:
<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view
Solved it.
I had another route previous to this one that was catching it.
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>'
Shouldn’t it be:
'<user:\w+>/<_a>' => 'user/<_a>',
?
Yes that works too. I didn’t realise that you could miss out the regex if you just want to match everything.
This works as well:
'<user>/<action>' => 'user/<action>'
