Re: Routing problem with "/*" url

A few things come to my mind off the top off my head.

You could route your controller-action url's first, to catch the actual links such as /members/users/login (is members a prefix, or do you have a users method with login parameter, or do you have that as a custom route?)

Then providing you did those routes correctly, the bottom route would catch anything that didn't match the earlier ones, hopefully your post slug.

Another idea would be to use a regular expression to match the pattern of a "post-slug", if there are any distinguishing features this would be much more effective. If not I would recommend doing something like this:

/posts/post-slug
/blog/post-slug
/keyword/post-slug (i.e. if I was writing on a health care blog, I would use /health/post-slug. This could produce something like /health/top-10-diet-tips which holds the keyword health as well as the slug.)

It would be easier to avoid issues if you did it this way.

Hi,

I want my posts url to be like this:

example.com/post-slug

so I added the routing rule on routes.php like this

Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'view'));

It works well but other links give 404 error like this one

Error: The requested address '/members/users/login' was not found on this server.

Please advise

Thanks
