I need to make an action method that will receive a parameter in the url, perform a search and return an array. Anyway, that's not the problem. My problem is that I want a url like 'baseurl/frontname/param'. I don't know how to do this. I've already seem a Magento site performimg same operation with a url like 'baseurl/frontname/index.php?/param'. It's good for me too.
Can someone help me to realize it?

I have two dynamic url with simillar structure. For example, lets say, Product page and category page.
I have set both pages in
Route::get('/{product}', [UsersController:: class, 'productDetail']);
Route::get('/{category}', [UsersController:: class, 'categoryProducts']);
But when I click on url which suppose to go in category page, it redirect to product page only because of same structure. How I can differentiate both URLs for Laravel without altering their url structure?
I don't think this can be done without modifying the URL pattern at least a little bit.
If you do something like /50?type=category then in the show method you can use the query parameter to determine which table to look at. But you'll have to use the same show method and I don't recommend doing it this way.
I hope someone else will be able to shine some more light on the matter.
this is the best practice for your case to make yourapi Resful
Route::get('/product/{product-id}', [UsersController:: class, 'productDetail']);
Route::get('/product/categories, [UsersController:: class, 'categoryProducts']);
learn more about Restful api here https://restfulapi.net/resource-naming/
This should be done by calling index, update diff() function. You can try by using the below:
Route::get('/category/{slug}', 'site\categorycontroller#show')->name('category.show');
Route::get('/product/{slug}', 'site\productcontroller#show')->name('product.show');
I want extract a number provided by javascript object in site, but I really don't understand that I am doing.
I tried different versions using alike examples and guidelines in import.io site and other tutorial sites, but I got only 1 of two results: extracted all numbers on given page or nothing at all.
I tried e.g. //[contains(.,"Unikālo apmeklējumu skaits:")]#type ; //[contains(.,"Unikālo apmeklējumu skaits:")] . Most likely it's necessary to add there something else, but I just don't know that.
Link I am interested in to extract from is: https://www.ss.lv/msg/lv/clothes-footwear/womens-clothes/trousers/ikcbb.html and information necessary is a number after text "Unikālo apmeklējumu skaits:" which is given by javascript.
Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this problem.
For someone who is new in web-scraping this should be a hard task, I'll ty to explain it. First of all, the xpath to get to that location could be something like this:
'//td[#class="msg_footer" and contains(text(), "Unik")]'
Now you have that tag (and what it contains), but if you check it doesn't contain the number you need, that content is being dynamically loaded with a javascript, and the javascript is this one:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var ss_w='rādīt numuru';
document.write( '<scr'+'ipt id="contacts_js" src="/js/2015-10-27/37863/VHoBGkpqSV8bfwkdTX9AXEpZXCVDlASIQ1ZV3kK.js?t='+new Date()+'"></scr'+'ipt>' );
--></script>
which could be gotten from the response with this xpath:
'//script[contains(text(), "contacts_js")]/text()'
from that string, you should replicate the url that comes in src, so this url for example:
/js/2015-10-27/37863/VHoBGkpqSV8bfwkdTX9AXEpZXCVDlASIQ1ZV3kK.js?t=
and add to the end the current date, as javascript creates it with new Date(). Then you should make a request to that url (adding the previous response domain), so something like:
https://www.ss.lv/js/2015-10-27/37863/VHoBGkpqSV8bfwkdTX9AXEpZXCVDlASIQ1ZV3kK.js?t=Wed%20Oct%2028%202015%2020:56:42%20GMT-0500%20(PET)
check that the date is urlencoded. it should return a response like:
var PHONE_CNT=-1;var PHONE_CNT2=-1;var PHONE_CNT3=-1;var EMAIL_CNT=-1;var SHOW_CNT=22;var PH_c="";var PH_1=0;var PH_2=0;var PH_3=0;
pcc_id=0;PH_1=gpzd("JTg3aCU3QyU1QnolN0MlN0JYcWh6JTVCdCU5NSU4QyU5MnV4ayU5QXElN0IlOTQlNUNweiU5MGtvJTdCJThFJTVF","55937369");
where you can check that the value inside SHOW_CNT is the number you want.
If you want to know how I figured out which request and which script was populating that response tag, well that I did using firebug, searching for SHOW_CNT inside all of the responses that involve calling to your URL, which pointed to the request I specified, and then trying to check who was requesting that.
Hope it helped.
support#import.io are the guys to speak to, they give free advice and help trouble shoot problems just like this all the time.
There are all kinds of tips and tricks you can use... for example import.io provide (an undocumented beta) JavaScript Pre-render service that would likely work for you in this scenario. API publish failures are sometimes caused by timeouts while waiting for sites to render JS, this would fix that.

I hope this helps.
I really hope my question has been well thought out but here goes.
How do you implement something like
Route::get("/url1", "controller#method");
Route::get("hello/url1", "controller#method");
Route::get("hello/hi/url1", "controller#method");
in Laravel but using something like
Route::get("*/url1", "controller#method");
instead of declaring every route path?
I will explain why this problem has come up. You see the primary url is always changing because its being called from a js file via a location.href call. I could decide to use a primary url variable but its to be deployed via intranet to different servers in organizations and the primary url could change at any time meaning that localhost/project on one system might become localhost:7987/project on another thus breaking the url variable, now thats on one part. On the other hand there are js functions running continuously and when someone navigates to a deeper url, say from localhost/home to localhost/home/event a route call that should be independent of folder breaks
So yeah, I am wondering if theres a way to declare a global route that points to a controller and/or if this is possible in Laravel.
Thanks
Try this:
Route::get('{something}/url1', 'controller#method')->where('something', '*');
Not sure if that will work, but the idea is that you can use where to pass some Regexp to match selected value from route.
I want to show all users page wise initially. So if I browse http://mydomain/user it will redirect to http://mydomain/user/page/1 and so on. But if I browse http://mydomain/user/1 it will show only single user with id of user.
http://mydomain/user/1 >> it works fine. But as I want pagination so I want to redirect http://mydomain/user to http://mydomain/user/page/1 always
My Routing Info is:
$route['user/(:num)'] = 'user/index/$1';
$route['user'] = 'user/page/$1';
But when I pressed to http://mydomain/user it does not rout to user/page/$1. I have index() method which output to single user information if I give slug. so get a page wise list I used routing and page method. But it is not working. it gives 404 Page not found
Could anybody have solution please..
I think you need to look at the manual for routing:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html
As far as i can see your second route doesn´t make much sense, you are calling the method page() of your User class - and trying to pass in $1 which does not exist. I think you need to explain better what you want to achieve with your second route - I don´t really see why you need it at all at the moment.
Scenario:
I have a Board model in my Rails server side, and an Android device is trying to post some content to a specific board via a POST. Finally, the server needs to send back a response to the Android device.
How do I parse the POST manually (or do I need to)? I am not sure how to handle this kind of external request. I looked into Metal, Middleware, HttpParty; but none of them seems to fit what I am trying to do. The reason I want to parse it manually is because some of the information I want will not be part of the parameters.
Does anyone know a way to approach this problem?
I am also thinking about using SSL later on, how might this affect the problem?
Thank you in advance!! :)
I was trying to make a cross-domain request from ie9 to my rails app, and I needed to parse the body of a POST manually because ie9's XDR object restricts the contentType that we can send to text/plain, rather than application/x-www-urlencoded (see this post). Originally I had just been using the params hash provided by the controller, but once I restricted the contentType and dataType in my ajax request, that hash no longer contained the right information.
Following the URL in the comment above (link), I learned the how to recover that information. The author mentions that in a rails controller we always have access to a request variable that gives us an instance of the ActionDispatch::Request object. I tried to use request.query_string to get at the request body, but that just returned an empty string. A bit of snooping in the API, though, uncovered the raw_post method. That method returned exactly what I needed!
To "parse it manually" you could iterate over the string returned by request.raw_post and do whatever you want, but I don't recommend it. I used Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query, as suggested in Arthur Gunn's answer to this question, to parse the raw_post into a hash. Once it is in hash form, you can shove whatever else you need in there, and then merge it with the params hash. Doing this meant I didn't have to change much else in my controller!
params.merge!(Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query(request.raw_post))
Hope that helps someone!
Not sure exactly what you mean by "manually", posts are normally handled by the "create" or "update" methods in the controller. Check out the controller for your Board model, and you can add code to the appropriate method. You can access the params with the params hash.
You should be more specific about what you are trying to do. :)
