Question

I am currently using the Yii framework, and I would like to know if anyone has any clue on how to setup a SEO friendly url like http://www.twitter.com/ automatically in Yii? I know how to do so this manually in the config/main.php but I would like to be able to dynamically generate it. I have been able to do it in Grails as well. In Yii, what I know of is that you need to have another parameter like http://www.twitter.com/l/, but I do not want that parameter, anyone can share?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Edit the config file main.php with this

'components'=>array(

            .....

            'urlManager'=>array(
            'urlFormat'=>'path',
            'rules'=>array(
                '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
                '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
            ),
        ),

            ....

I think it is generated when you create a webapp with yiic-tool
