Routing in Kohana without showing controller name

Question

I want to create a routing in Kohana Framework Version 3.3.1.

I want URL like http://www.test.com/male/London and internally they will act like below URL-

http://www.test.com/list/search/London

I want to hide the controller and action name from the URL.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

This can be accomplished by using routes in bootstrap.php and/or a module's init.php file.

For example, you could set up a route for (male/<location>) and then your default controller would be list and the action search.

You could then access the location within the controller/action by using $this->request->param('location'); to be used in whatever DB query you need it.

Confused? Have a read through this section of Kohana Docs and it should all make sense.

Answer 2

You have to do two changes in your file:

• 1. Bootstarp file :

     Route::set('list', 'male/<id>' )
     ->defaults(array(
     'controller' => 'list',
     'action'     => 'search',
     ));` 
     

• 2. And second is you can make your link like

     href="<?php echo URL::site('male/'.id, TRUE) ?>">
     

And this route file should above at your default route file.
