Yii - Hiding module name in URL

Question

My present URL structure is as below:

http://www.mydomain.com/module/controller/action

I need to hide the module section of the URL. Is there any way this ca

Answer 1

To point the URL http://www.mydomain.com/customer/login to the module, in you config (protected/config/main.php) under urlManager:

'urlManager'=>array(
        'urlFormat'=>'path',
        'showScriptName' => false,
        'rules'=>array(
            'customer/login' => 'module/controller/action',

            '/'=>'/view',
            '//'=>'/',
            '/'=>'/',
        ),
    ),

To make any controller action go to module/controller/action (as discussed below) you can use:

'/'=>'module/controller/action',

or

'/'=>'module//',

Depending on whether the controller/action part of the value (on the right hand side of the =>) is a set value, or a variable.

So if you want any controller/action to go to the exact url module/controller/action, you would use the first example. For example if you want the controller/action site/test to go to module/controller/action, you would use the first example above

If you want any controller/action to go to a dynamic controller/action you use the second. For example, if you want the controller/action site/test to go to module/site/test, you would use the second example above

This new rule must be above the 3 default Yii rules as they are read and top to bottom and match the first rule it finds only
