hi
-routes are like Controller/Action/Param/Param
-the 'index' is the default action
Take your 'Categories' structure and name it articles, so that the route
will be domain.ext/
then use the index() method. feed it with you article name's and convert
them to id to do your article management.
Something like that:
class ArticlesController extends AppController{
function index($name=null){
$row = $this->findAllByName($name);
$id = $row['id'];
//then get your article content
}
}
you'll need to convert your id to names for your links by using
findAllById($id). You need also to make sure that your article names are
uniques
and that your are using an appropriate way to pass special characters in
the url.
