i am creating an API module in an application and i have to set some rules in urlManager, however when i set a single rule and test it if it’s working, it calls the index action instead of the desired action.
in Controller
<?php
Class ProjectsController extends Controller
{
// Do nothing on this request
public function actionIndex()
{
// this is being echoed even if this action is not being requested
echo 'test';
}
/*
* Retrieve all projects
*/
public function actionAll()
{
$projects = Project::model()->findAllApi();
echo CJSON::encode($projects);
}
public function actionView($id)
{
echo 'asd';
}
}
urlManager in config/main.php
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'showScriptName'=>false,
'urlSuffix'=>'.php',
'rules'=>array(
'<module:\w+>/<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<module>/<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
),
),
ApiModule.php
<?php
class ApiModule extends CWebModule
{
public function init()
{
// this method is called when the module is being created
// you may place code here to customize the module or the application
// import the module-level models and components
$this->setImport(array(
'api.models.*',
'api.components.*',
));
}
public function beforeControllerAction($controller, $action)
{
if(parent::beforeControllerAction($controller, $action))
{
// this method is called before any module controller action is performed
// you may place customized code here
return true;
}
else
return false;
}
}
so if i request http://localhost/<application>/api/projects/2 it calls index action instead of view. how to fix this?
Note: i have asked this question in stackoverflow and the solution i was given was to change the rule that will only work for this specific module and controller, i think that is a bad practice but i have not found another way, so why the rule does not work in the way i was trying to do in the beginning?
