# Mar 11th 2018, 05:41 joddit Just going for brevity
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:41 ricksaccous i think you have to do something with passed params for the routes
# Mar 11th 2018, 05:41 savant ~tell joddit about gist
# 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
