Re: routes.php - getting missing controller issue
Thanks Chad,
I tried but still couldn't do it.
It seems like I have to modify .htaccess file.

Re: routes.php - getting missing controller issue
Hey Leaf,
We've done a lot of rewriting with our sites and mainly with
http://theeasyapi.com, and http://www.countycriminal.com. One thing
that I have found is that you must always use the controller name in
the URL even when you are rewriting which controller picks it up.
In your example I would use instead of /hp/12345 I would use /users/
12345 ... try that and see if you get a valid result. Like I said I
know it's not the best approach as you obviously want to have /hp/ = /
homepage/ but sometimes there are just a few things that just don't
work in cake for some reason.
The other thing you COULD do is a custom modification in
your .htaccess. Change your routes to look for /homepage/ but then in
your .htaccess put a rewrite rule in there to convert /hp/ to /
homepage/ so the URL at the top stays the same but it does pass in /
homepage/ instead. Keeps the same look and feel but does break the
"cakeified" mentality.
It's up to you and check out http://theeasyapi.com you can see a live
site where we rewrite URL's and do a lot of really interesting things
with our routes file.
Have a wonderful day,
Chad

Re: routes.php - getting missing controller issue
circket, thank you for the replay.
actually i set to 'id'=>'[0-9a-zA-Z]+' in the beginning but make it
simple since nothing was working for me.
code below gives me a "Missing controller error" it say I don't have a
Hp Controller
=
Router::connect('/hp/:id/', array(
'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'homepage',
), array(
'id'=>'[0-9a-zA-Z]', 'pass'=>'id'
));
=
then if i have this code then it bring to home page
=
Router::connect('/hp/:id/', array(
'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'homepage',
), array(
'id'=>'[0-9a-zA-Z]+', 'pass'=>'id'
));
=

Re: routes.php - getting missing controller issue
What does the error msg say? That UsersController is missing, or
something else?
Are your usernames limited to lowercase letters only and no digits?
And you might want to pass the ID to your action:
Router::connect(
'/hp/:id/',
array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'homepage'),
array('id'=>'[a-z]', 'pass' => 'id')
);
