With JQuery that's a snap:
$('#your_category_select_id').change(function(){
window.location('/categories/view/' + $(this).val());
});
I've no idea how to do it with the Helper as I've never used it.
Personally, I'd leave the 'view' part out so the URLs are like
'/categories/monitors', '/categories/keyboards', etc. which I think
looks a bit sharper.
Just be sure to set up the routes properly for all other
CategoriesController actions, then create a route after them like:
Router::connect(
'/categories/:slug',
array(
'controller' => 'categories',
'action' => 'view'
),
array(
'slug' => '[-a-z0-9]+',
'pass' => array('slug')
)
);
Then just set up the model to return Category.slug instead of id when
you do a find('list').
