Re: Router::redirect problem dynamic html redirects using routers

I couldn't get my class to work so i did this in the router.php file

I am pretty sure there is another way. If anyone has a solution i would appreciate it

$move='category/'. stripslashes_deep ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
Router::redirect('/:slug/*',$move, array('status' => 302));

dynamic html redirects  using routers

in the beginning I had no categories and all of my pages were root

example:

http://domain/somepage

This was great, but as my content over the years grew I need to categorize my content

so I added some routes see below

//routes.php

Router::connect(

"/:category/:slug",

array('controller' => 'controllername', 'action' => 'view'),

array(

'name'=>'[-A-Z0-9]+',

'pass' => array('category','slug')

)

);

//end

this works great and accomplished what I needed to do, but there is one problem the search engines .I need to write 301's for all of my links and I have over 8K pages.

The solution cakesphp's Router::redirect

The issue I am now having is I cant figurer out how to redirect my old links. I can for example redirect all of the links to one category, but that wont cut it. I need to redirect all of my links to the new location.

I am trying to use routes.php router :: redirect

if I do this my code it redirects to the category, but not the slug

Router::redirect(

'/:slug/*',

array(

'pass' => array('category/:slug'))

result

http://domain/category/

how can I get cake to redirect to

http://domain/category/slug ?

instead of http://domain/category/
