Question

I’m using CakePHP CMS named Croogo. I’ve customized my theme and also created most of the pages.

But I’ve got a new requirement to remove the page and blog from the URL. Either one will be ok. I’ve created all the static content of my site as page for every url is coming with page/slug.

How to remove this from the URL.

Answer 1

I’ve tried this in my 'croogo_routes.php' file and it worked like charm.

After doing this my pages are working with both way like 'page/slug' and 'slug'

CroogoRouter::connect('/:slug', array('controller' => 'nodes', 'action' => 'view', 'type' => 'page', 'slug' => ':slug'));

Includes this line in pages section. Like this

// Page
    CroogoRouter::connect('/:slug', array('controller' => 'nodes', 'action' => 'view', 'type' => 'page', 'slug' => ':slug'));
    CroogoRouter::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'nodes', 'action' => 'view', 'type' => 'page', 'slug' => 'about'));
    CroogoRouter::connect('/page/:slug', array('controller' => 'nodes', 'action' => 'view', 'type' => 'page'));
