Re: Routing with Query Strings

[Rjs37]

And an extra question continuing from the above post concerning pagination
and it's urls. 

Currently using the url format mentioned in my above post it's coming up
with:
ps3/blackops/ladders/clan/view/page:1/sort:rank/direction:asc?season=3

where as I'd prefer the paginator to use the query string rather than named
parameters. Those named parameters look horrible. Is there a way to get it
to do this? i.e I'd prefer the below:
/ps3/blackops/ladders/clan?season=3&page=1&sort=rank&direction=asc

Alternatively if I could get rid of the 'page:' stuff it would probably
suffice too. Something like:
/ps3/blackops/ladders/clan/3/1/rank/asc 
though I imagine it wouldn't like me not having the action in the url and
it's not very user friendly in the sense they wouldn't know how the numbers
correlate.

Routing with Query Strings

[Rjs37]

The problem I'm having is that when I use the html helper to define a link
and add a query string it puts the action back into the url when I don't
want it there (second route).

I've got the following routes defined for the site I'm coding:

 $consoles = 'ps3|360';
Router::connect('/:console/:arena/:controller/:slug/:action/*', array(),
array('console' => $consoles));
Router::connect('/:console/:arena/:controller/:slug/*', 
array('action' => 'view', 'slug' => null),
array('console' => $consoles));
Router::connect('/:console/:arena/:controller/*', 
array('action' => 'arena'),
array('console' => $consoles));
Router::connect('/:console/:arena/*', 
array('controller' => 'arenas'),
array('console' => $consoles));

So an example of the more complex urls we'd have would be:

/ps3/blackops/ladders/doubles/join
/ps3/blackops/ladders/doubles - would use view action

I was defining the links manually but I'm making the switch to using the
html helper for links instead. 

When the view action is being used I was looking to add some extra variables
to the end using the query string (as I don't really want view in the url -
plus I have a few variables). So I was hoping for something like this: 
/ps3/blackops/ladders/clan?season=3&sort=wins&ord=asc (last couple would be
used for pagination)

but when I do this:

echo $html->link('Testing', array(
'console' => 'ps3',
'arena' => 'blackops',
'controller' => 'ladders',
'action' => 'view',
'slug' => 'clan',
    '?' => array('season' => '3')
));

I'm getting: /ps3/blackops/ladders/clan/view?season=3

Is there a way of stopping the view from appearing automatically? If I don't
have the query string then it generates the urls how I expect. 

Thanks in advance for any help provided.
