Kevin,
seo friendly urls in cakephp are very very easy…
below is the basic idea to do domain.com/video/return-of-the-jedi instead of
domain.com/videos/view/1
videos database table (add a slug field)
id | name | slug | …
1 | Return of the Jedi | return-of-the-jedi | ….
routes.php
Router::connect('/video/:slug', array('controller' => 'videos', 'action' =>
'view'), array('pass' => array('slug')));
controller:
public function view($id = null) {
$video = $this->Video->find('first', array(
'conditions' => array('Video.slug' => $id),
));
$this->set(compact('video'));
}
