Changing URL's from Default about cakephp-sitemap HOT 8 CLOSED

As mentioned in the README, you can use the loc Behavior config property to specify the name of the Model method you want to use to generate a URL for that Model.

If you create a custom ModelName::specialUrl($Model, $primaryKey) method to return the correct URL, then set that in the Behavior's config:

'loc' => 'specialUrl',

We haven't heavily tested this since buildUrl works fine for us so it may take a bit of experimentation to get it right.

Also, using named params is discouraged and support for them will be dropped in 3.0. You should consider switching to query string params as soon as you are able.

I am only using the routes to return them and setting the links like this:

$this->Html->link('link text'', array(
'controller' => 'offers',
'action' => 'view',
'id' => $item['Offer']['id'],
'slug' => $item['Offer']['slug'],

            ), array('escape' => FALSE));

The reverse routing is then working them out. I don't have a specialURL set.

Could I create a new buildURL function with edited values?

public function buildUrl(Model $Model, $primaryKey) {
    return Router::url(array('plugin' => NULL, 'controller' => Inflector::tableize($Model->name), 'action' => 'view', $primaryKey), TRUE);
}

Yes, specialUrl() was only an example. You should be able to override buildUrl() in your Model instead without issues, provided it takes the correct arguments and still returns the results from a call to Router::url() like you've demonstrated.

Do you have any examples on how you would over ride the buildURL? Would I need to add another entry into the config array called slug and pass it over to the build function also?

Place the buildUrl() method you demonstrated above in your Model's class.

Model/Offer.php:

class Offer extends AppModel {
  // ...
  public function buildUrl(Model $Model, $primaryKey) {
    return Router::url(array('plugin' => NULL, 'controller' => Inflector::tableize($Model->name), 'action' => 'view', $primaryKey), TRUE);
  }
}

Then modify that copy of the function to return whatever customer URL structure you need. Your Model method will get called before the Behavior's copy will.

You should only need the $primaryKey to build the URL.

Remember: You're inside the Model. If you need to lookup the correct slug, then do a $offer = $this->find('first', array('conditions' => array('Offer.id' => $primaryKey))); in your buildUrl() method and grab the slug from the results.

You can use a Cache if performance is going to be an issue, but you can refer to the Book for that.

I can't seem to get the model to over-ride, I have put the function inside the model but it seems to just use the main one still.

I even tried changing the name (and changing the name in the loc array but it is still using the default settings somehow.

Thankyou, this has sorted it:

public function OfferUrl($primaryKey) {
$offer = $this->find('first', array('conditions' => array('Offer.id' => $primaryKey)));

    return Router::url(array('plugin' => NULL,
        'controller' => 'offers',
        'action' => 'view',
        'id' => $primaryKey,
        'slug' => $offer['Offer']['slug'],
    ), TRUE);

}

As well as deleting the cache before I test.
