have added SluggableBehavior as Docs say to my model and now I want URL to include a slug so I do something like this in view
Html::a(Html::encode($model->title), ['view', 'id' => $model->id, 'slug' => $model->slug])
But URL is the same something like
I want something like
example.com/post/view/3-some-nice-article-here
Anything extra I need to do?
Did you configured the UrlManager ?
Try something like that :
'rules' => [
'post/view/<id:\d+>-<slug:\d+>' => 'post/view'
]
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-runtime-routing.html#url-rules
It does not work either. Why is this necessary anyway?
Try this
Rules
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>-<slug:[A-Za-z0-9 -_.]+>' => '<controller>/view',
View
echo Html::a("View", ['view', 'id' => 4, 'slug' => "SLUG-VALUE"]);
http://127.0.0.1/yii2/advanced/backend/web/index.php/validation/4-SLUG-VALUE
May be I have misunderstood the whole usage of the behaviour. So I will post again with more details.
I have in model Blog the following code
public function behaviors()
{
return [
[
'class' => SluggableBehavior::className(),
'attribute' => 'title',
// In case of attribute that contains slug has different name
// 'slugAttribute' => 'alias',
/*'value' => function ($event) {
return str_replace(' ', '-', $this->blog->name);
}*/
],
];
}
I supposed it would add the attribute slug to model, it didn’t. So I defined a public attribute $slug and added to safe in model rules.
Still when I use with above code on the view, slug is empty. What am I doing wrong here?
Do you have a column "slug" in the table ?
It should save the slug in it and the attribute "title" should not be slugged.
public function behaviors()
{
return [
[
'class' => SluggableBehavior::className(),
'attribute' => 'title',
'slugAttribute' => 'slug'
],
];
}
Actually I don’t want to have fixed slug database column. I want it to be generated on the fly!
Is that not what behavior is for?
I think it should work when you have set a public variable with the name slug. But I am not sure it is called on loading a model. Perhaps it only is called on a save?
If you don’t want to save it to the database, what do you want to do with it?
Only for generating URL that are meaningful. URL have an ID which I use to know which post to pull.
I have tried everything that should work but does not. My Controllers whose URL am rewritting using those rules are in module called blog. Is there supposed to be a special way of treating URL in module? AFAIK it should not be a problem but then, I might be wrong!
Well I found out that I was wrong and here is what works, thanks to this SO post!
'<module:blog>/<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>-<slug:[A-Za-z0-9 -_.]+>' => '<module>/<controller>/view',
