We all need SEO friendly URLs for our projects. its not always good to call route with params so we can generalise it for all models using a common function.
Following the general convention of model and control sharing common name, we can use this code to get seo friendly URL.
public function getControllerID() {
$modelClass = get_class ( $this );
$pos = strrpos ( $modelClass, '\\' );
$class = substr ( $modelClass, $pos + 1 );
return Inflector::camel2id ( $class );
}
public function getUrl($action = 'view', $id = null) {
$params = [
$this->getControllerID () . '/' . $action
];
if ($id != null)
$params ['id'] = $id;
else
$params ['id'] = $this->id;
// add the title parameter to the URL
$params ['title'] = ( string ) $this;
// absolute url
return Yii::$app->getUrlManager ()->createAbsoluteUrl ( $params, true );
}
In code code where ever you need to url to a model , you just call $model->url or $model->getUrl('view').
You may have to additionally update urlManager in config with rules for pretty url.
'<controller:[A-Za-z-]+>/<id:\d+>/<title>' => '<controller>/view',
'<controller:[A-Za-z-]+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
'<controller:post>/<id:\d+>/<title>' => 'blog/view',
'<controller:[A-Za-z-]+>/<action:[A-Za-z-]+>/<id:\d+>/<title>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:[A-Za-z-]+>/<action:[A-Za-z-]+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
you will get url like this.
I used to put this code:
`public function getUrl()
{
$query = array( $this->getFilter()->getRequestVar()=>$this->getValue(),Mage::getBlockSingleton('page/html_pager')->getPageVarName() => null // exclude current page from urls);
return Mage::getUrl('//*', array('_current'=>true, '_use_rewrite'=>true, '_query'=>$query));
}
`In file config.xml of your custom module, rewrite class Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer_Filter_Item:
<models> .... <catalog> <layer_filter_item>Namespace_Module_Model_Catalog_Layer_Filter_Item</layer_filter_item> <catalog> .... </models>If you liked my method sometimes I post articles in my blog and write my papers for academic publications
