I have a template file at ../page/video.phtml and it's served at http://mysite/video.
I want to add params in the url to play different videos on that page. I can add it as a query string param, http://mysite/video?select=filename but I would prefer to use http://mysite/video/filename.
However, when I try this I get a 404. What would I have to do to achieve this?
I'm using Magento 1.7
You must explicitly include all the action parts (route, controller and action) in the URL before adding parameters this way, because when you use http://mysite/video/filename, Magento looks for the index action of the filename controller for the module having a front route named video (which does not exist, hence the 404 error).
From the URL you gave, a working URL would rather look like this : http://mysite/video/index/index/select/filename

I have a PHP CodeIgniter Controller with name index and have a method that get details of id kode ($kode) using API get method.
Now when i need to show kode data for example for id AALI
I call this URL
http://www.example.com/?q=AALI
My target
How to make user data accessible by next URLs
http://www.example.com/AALI
I've try using function _remap on code Igniter, but it still wont work.
Have a look at Codeigniter URLs
As per your statement, your controller name is index and there would be an index function in your controller which renders the default view. it means you have changed default_controller to index in your Config.php
Now if you read the link above about Codeigniter URLs, there is a way to get data which passed in the URL after "/" You have to load url helper you can either autoload(recommended) it or load it in your constructor or Controller as per your convenience
Then you can just type
$param=$this->uri->segment(2); // in case your URL is http://www.example.com/AALI
The first segment is controller itself, The second is the function if your url is complete and the third is the parameter in CI URL structure but if you are not providing function name the first segment will always be your controller . So the second is your parameter. Just save it in a variable and do what you like.
I have added one field in backend for adding url for Faq Post and successfully saved to the database.But I`m not sure how to call it back the url to display that particular post.My requirement is to generate a url for each faq categories post and have separate link to access them.
For example .If my faq category is Test and particular post in that category is test123.I want to generate link to access test123 something similar to {mywebsite}/faq/{faq_category}/{faq_post}.Please help me.
You need to Use "Url rewrite Management" when you save url in magento then also save url in url rewrite.
You need to save in url table following fields:
id_path = "faq/{faq_category_id}/{faq_post_id}"
request path ="faq/{faq_category}/{faq_post}"
target path = "faq/index/view/cat/{faq_category_id}/post/{faq_post_id}"
you need to create controller View action in indexController of your module.
you can get parameter like this :
$category_id = $this->getRequest()->getParam('cat');
$post_id = $this->getRequest()->getParam('post');
now run url {mywebsite}/faq/{faq_category}/{faq_post}
I have a website that is developed with CodeIgniter. I have added the route for my url as follows:
$route['about_us'] = 'about-us';
Now I have a problem with that. I.e. when I am looking for the url www.mysite.com/about_us it works and at same time www.mysite.com/about-us is also working. I want only one url to work: the one with the underscore.
I have removed this to:
$route['about_us'] = 'about-us';
But the url www.mysite.com/about-us still works. It may cause duplicate content for my website in Google and so more page links also showing. Even I don't have that functions too. Like www.mysite.com/about_us/design. Likewise in about_us controller file index function only there, but design method calling in Google.
How do I resolve this problem?
You actually don't need a route here. The normal purpose of request routing the way you are using it is so that you can use hyphenated URLs when hyphens are not permitted in class and function names. I.E. you want the url to by www.example.com/test-controller, but you can't actually name a controller test-controller because the hyphen is illegal.
If you only want to have the underscored URL such as www.mysite.com/about_us then just remove the route completely and name the controller about_us. With no routing rules the hyphenated url should 404.
Just wondering if there is a way to pass a hidden variable in a rewritten URL?
My links are working fine with this format:
http://www.mydomain.com/city/state/businessname/
But I'd also like to be able to get and pass the businessID value, but not have it show up in the rewritten link.
http://www.mydomain.com/city/state/businessname/busid/ <- hide busid
If the businessId should not appear in the frontend url then you can retrieve it in the controller / action that is handling this request.
ie. If you can get the businessid from the businessname, there is no need to retrieve it and then rewrite url, just do that logic in your controller action.
Or setup a Filter or Interceptor to handle it.
I am having trouble removing the controller name from my url path on my localhost.
i have this url - localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/
i have been able to remove index.php from the url using my htaccess similar to http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite so that:
localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/index.php/controller_name
is now:
localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/controller_name/
but i can't remove the controller name from the path so that:
localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/controller_name/function_name/
becomes:
localhost:8888/localhost/site_name/function_name/
I am using only one controller, and i have added:
$route['^(function_name1|function_name2|function_name3)(/:any)?$'] = 'controller_name/$0';
$route['^(?!ezstore|ezsell|login).*'] = "home/$0"; /*similar variation i tried*/
and other variations to my routes file but it does not have any effect. i also tried using the _remap function but that does not help in this case.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks
You can use a wildcard route,
$route['(:any)'] = "controller_name/$1";
Then when if you go to http://localhost/function_one/param1
it will call the controller controller_name the function function_once and pass param1 as the first parameter.
nb: I must point out, using only one controller for an entire site does raise warning bells for me, you may want to get your code design checked out, but that's just me.
