Yii2 Change id in URL

Question

Is it possible to change id in URL in Yii2 basic to something else my URL actual is

http://localhost:8585/yii40/wfp/web/post/view?id=368

I want to change it to

http://localhost:8585/yii40/wfp/web/post/view?post=368

My View is

 public function actionView($id)
        {
            return $this->render('view', [
                'model' => $this->findModel($id),
            ]);
        }

// /index.php?r=post%2Fedit&id=100 assume the alias "@postEdit" is defined as "post/edit" echo Url::toRoute(['@postEdit', 'post' => 100]); Please check http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-helper-url.html — xxCodexx, Mar 15 '18 at 09:13
where can I create that code Url::toRoute(['@postEdit', 'post' => 100]) — Bynd, Mar 15 '18 at 12:24
add the view that you are using and the `actionView()` for `PostController`. — Muhammad Omer Aslam, Mar 16 '18 at 10:04
you have added the controller action, but havent added the file where you have the link that lands on this action kindly add that view file code too so that we can see if there is an anchor link or a gridview — Muhammad Omer Aslam, Mar 16 '18 at 19:56
did you updated your action, i have pointed it out in my answer **change the `actionView($id)` in your `PostController` to the `actionView($post)` and replace all occourences of the `$id` with `$post` inside the action code** — Muhammad Omer Aslam, Mar 17 '18 at 14:36

It is related to the link which on clicking lands on this action it could either be

inside your GridView, /your_project_root/views/post/index.php file from where you are clicking to view the post detail by submitting the id.
Or a normal link in your view somewhere

1) For GridView go to your action column and change the ['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'] to the following

[ 'class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn' ,
    'header' => 'Actions' ,
    'template'=>'{view}{update}{delete}',
    'buttons'=>[
        'view'=>function($url,$model){
        $html = '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>';
        return Html::a($html,["post/view",'post'=>$model->id]);
        }
    ],
] ,

and change the actionView($id) in your PostController to the actionView($post) and replace all occourences of the $id with $post inside the action code.

2) if it is a normal link then you have to just change the url for that link like below

Html::a($html,["post/view",'post'=>$model->id]);

where $model should be replaced by the appropriate variable.

It's not working, I I'm trying to change just id= in url to post=; — Bynd, Mar 16 '18 at 09:25
you have to change the `actionView` too along with the anchor link — Muhammad Omer Aslam, Mar 17 '18 at 14:37

It seems that you only want to change the name of GET parameter (id->post).

Assuming you have default app config, you need to find the view method (called actionView) in appropriate controller (PostController.php).

The method either takes $id parameter as its argument (like public function actionView($id)) or retrieves 'id' from $_GET superglobal array later (like $modelId = $_GET['id']; or $modelId = Yii::$app->request->get('id');)

This is the place where you change it.

To get a better idea of Yii2 app structure and ways to handle requests please see http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-index.html#application-structure

I don't yet find out how – Bynd Mar 16 '18 at 09:26
Change $id to $post in 2 places in your view method. Then http://localhost:8585/yii40/wfp/web/post/view?post=368 should become accessible. – Alexander Dyachkov Mar 16 '18 at 10:33
