I am planning to make a blog in yii. I have a table named article and its corresponding model,view,contoller is generated using gii. I want the posts to be displayed in the home page so I set
defaultController='article'
Although posts are displayed in the homepage, when I click the title for readmore, the url still has the contoller name in it like
www.yiisite.com/article/1
So I want the url to be like this instead:
www.yiisite.com/1
I want to hide controller name in my URL.
What is the conventional method to implement it?
I wanted to make the url seo friendly so I used the following rule:
'/<year:\d{4}>/<month:\d{2}/<vanity:[\w\W]+>'=>'article/view'
Now in the loadmodel() in the ArticleController I wish to change findByPk($id) to fetch the data using year,month and a unique vanity url. So I will get the url like www.yiisite.com/2013/07/vanity-url-article.
This approach is fine right?
Update
urlManager
on site config
