# Mar 11th 2018, 05:41 savant can you gist your entire routes.php file?
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:41 joddit I mean there's nothing directly bad about having it in there
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:40 ricksaccous oh i see
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:40 savant thats interesting
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:40 joddit I don't want the action name in the URL
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:40 ricksaccous nice
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:40 joddit When I did what savant suggested, it created a link like /articles/view/(category_name)/(article_slug)
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:40 ricksaccous ['controller'=>'Articles', 'action' => 'view', 'category-slug', 'article-slug']
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:39 ricksaccous or you could just have the action take in two params, and pass those params in
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:39 joddit Thanks ill read about that
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:39 savant which will return the above sort of stuff
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:39 joddit Ok and thats what I figured, but it put view in the url
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:39 savant I generally add a getRoute() method to my entity
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:38 savant ['controller' =>'Articles', 'action' => 'view', 'category' => 'your-category', 'slug' => 'your-slug']
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:38 joddit For this particular site, categories are only one level deep, no categories withint categories
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:38 savant The route array for Html::link() would be
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:38 ricksaccous ummm
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:38 joddit Unless you recommend something more correct
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:37 joddit Just using something simple like $routes->connect('/articles/:category/:slug', ['controller' => 'Articles', 'action' => 'view']);
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:37 ricksaccous savant will save you
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:36 savant no worries
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:36 joddit Yeah sorry I DC'd accidentally if I missed your response
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:36 savant If you're asking about the slug routing, can you gist your article routes? I can then show you how to build the Html::link() calls
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:36 joddit Quick question, when creating links that don't follow the standard /controller/action/id kind of structure, do you just hand code them or am I missing something?
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:35 savant hihihi
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:35 savant barely anyone left
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:35 savant nuclear war
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:34 joddit Anyone alive at the moment?
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:33 savant was going to answer him
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:33 savant ah dang he left
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:27 ReallyTallGuyBri when making custom URL's ***
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:27 ReallyTallGuyBri I prefer to use $this->Html->link() to create links but it seems clunky when not making custom URL's
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:26 ReallyTallGuyBri I have the routing out of the way, but do I now just hand code the URL's in views? Or is there some more "proper" way
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:26 ReallyTallGuyBri Quick question, how does one institute slugs in an intelligent way in regard to creating links to deeper structures such as http://blah.com/articles/(category_name)/(article_slug)
# Mar 11th 2018, 04:42 ricksaccous alright i will
# Mar 11th 2018, 04:39 savant let me know if you have issues, im a maintainer of it.
# Mar 11th 2018, 04:37 ricksaccous and i figure it out without too much trouble haha
# Mar 11th 2018, 04:37 ricksaccous if it's easy enough
# Mar 11th 2018, 04:37 ricksaccous but maybe i could switch over production servers later
# Mar 11th 2018, 04:37 savant heh ok
# Mar 11th 2018, 04:37 ricksaccous i'm going to look into your solution but first going to fix up some stuff, like the permissions mess and such, haha, kind of want to soft launch this site soon, as in a couple days
