Controlling url in Yii: controller/action/id to /id

Question

Can we display url in the format controller/action/id to /id in Yii? Also, one major problem is that I need to do this only on the specific controller/

Answer 1

What you want can be done, with a few side effects however. If you put this in your config/main.php:

        'urlManager'=>array(
        'urlFormat'=>'path',
        'showScriptName'=>false,
        'rules'=>array(
            'image//' => 'image/action/username',
            '' => 'user/post/username',
            ),
        ),

Put all your more specific rules first, then everything else that is a single unit will go to /user/post/something.
