How can I directly go to an action in the browser? - yii2

I have a custom contorller called A1Controller which has an action called actionGetdetails. How do I go to this action in the browser? I tried http://localhost/Yii2basicapp/web/a1/getdetails, but it doesn't work.
This is my setting in the web.php file
`'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'enableStrictParsing' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => 'a1'],
],
],`

Yii expects camelcase actions to be rendered with dashes, so you should access it like http://localhost/Yii2basicapp/web/a1/get-details

You need to use a rest full browser add on to access the rest controller action to work as rest client for You
I use Rest Client Firefox for Firefox You can search for alternative for Your favorite browser

Yii2 internationalizating slug and controller

I'm making a yii2 site in 2 languages (for now) using yii's native i18n module, but how can I add multilanguage support for the action URLs?
For instance one of my actions is category/slug and in English, it will show as
http://example.com/category/chair
but in spanish it has to be shown as
http://example.com/categoria/silla
and so on for other languages shown in the future
right now im manually adding my routes like:
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
'<alias:\w+>' => 'site/<alias>',
'marca/<slug>' => 'site/brand',
'categoria/<slug>' => 'site/category',
'brand/<slug>' => 'site/brand',
'category/<slug>' => 'site/category',
],
],
Do i need to manually route every action to its correct controller or is it possible to add a more automated form using yii::t() function?
you will need to write your own UrlRule class, implementing yii\web\UrlRuleInterface and configure your UrlManager.
read more here.
basically it is about "translating" a given request like '/categoria/silla' to your internal url ['site/category', 'slug' => $slug, 'lang' => $lang] in your UrlRule's 'parseRequest' method. 'createUrl' is the other way round.

Yii2 -- Pretty Url -- Domain to Controller/Action with parameters

What will be the rules for my pretty url if I have the following scenario:
links like this where parameters may vary.
domain/?bt=<token>&e=<email>
or
domain/?lt=<token>&e=<email>
then should be processed in a controller/action. ie. mycontroller/get
Also, parameters should be accessible by $_GET inside the action.
the simplest way is based on the use of urlHelper
use yii\helpers\Url;
$myUrl = Url::to(['your_controller/your_action', 'bt' => 123, 'e' => 'myemail#gmail.com']);
Using the urlHelper function Url::to .. the url you need is properly formed depending of the urlManager configuration you have set in your config file
and the param a manager as show in the sample like entry in an array.
The post or get method is related to the type of metho you have in your ulr call if not other values are specified the url is formed as a get
and you can obtain the values you need in $_GET['bt'] and $_get['e']

'rules' => [
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'' => 'call-backs/get',
'unsubscribes' => 'unsubscribes/get',

#scaisEdge, thank you for answering my question. maybe my question isn't that clear but this is the solution I made for my question after a hard find of clues and tips online.
All I wanted was that when a user clicks on a link, hitting the main page/main domain, it will go to my yii project (intended to be a webservice or an API like one) then will be handled by a precise controller and action.
'' => 'call-backs/get'
the code above answers the question. Cheers.

Yii2 site/page 404 error

After a couple of weeks break for other commitments, I came back to my Yii2 work, ran composer update on my current projects, & am getting 404 errors on any previously working pages in #frontend/views/site/pages.
My URL manager is...
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'suffix' => '.p2m', // confuses bad guys
'rules' => [
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'<view:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+>/'=>'site/page',
]
],
An example of the line from my Navbar is...
['label' => 'Some Page', 'url' => ['/site/page', 'view' => 'somepage']],
Producing the URL...
http://example.com/site/page.p2m?view=somepage
Prior to today this all worked, & I'm tearing my hair out trying to makes sense of why it no longer does.
TIA, Pedro
Perhaps you've confused the names of the action?
Please show your actionPage() in SiteController. May be you have actionPages() instead?
Also you can beautify your code.
actionPage($view)
Then add in rules
'site/page/<view:[\w-]+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
And Url site/page/somepage will work.
But better way is make PageController and every page as separate action.
Also check your .htaccess and httpd.conf (if using apache) or nginx config to make sure that the server is working correctly.

yii2 routing - pass parameter to route in rules

When a user accesses domain/page, I need to route them to controller/action/100.
I don't want to pass any parameter through the URL, but want to add it in url rules.
I added the code below to my config file.
'urlManager' => [
'rules' => [
'login' => 'site/login', // working
'about' => 'cms/page/10' // Not Working
'about' => 'cms/page?id=10' // Not Working
],
],
The first rule is working fine.
Can I pass the parameter for the route in url rules?
You need to use defaults and declare the rule explicitly:
'urlManager' => [
'rules' => [
'login' => 'site/login',
[
'pattern' => 'about',
'route' => 'cms/page',
'defaults' => ['id' => 10],
]
],
],
Add 'mode' => \yii\web\UrlRule::PARSING_ONLY to this rule if you want to prevent the transformation when you create a URL with the UrlManager (e.g. Url::to() uses the UrlManager and its rules and works in the opposite direction, that is Url::to(['cms/page', 'id' => 10]) will generate a link about)
Also consider to configure a redirect at your web server instead.

Yii2 create user friendly URL with parameters

Hi I've to create user friendly URL but when using with parameters it's not working.
Url:
Url::to(['site/index', 'id' => 1]);
url looks like :
localhost/testApplication/frontend/web/index.php/site/index?id=1
/forntend/config/main.php
'urlManager' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
//'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
],
],
I want a output like
localhost/testApplication/frontend/web/index.php/site/index/id/1
and after that how to access id value in controller.
'rules' => [
'site/index/id/<id:\d+>' => 'site/index'
//'site/index/<id:\d+>' => 'site/index' Better solution
//'<controller>/<action>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>' Will be applied for all controllers and actions
],
Routing Doc.
And after in your action :
public function actionIndex($id)
{
...
}
Is really strange, for me using the parameter 'id' always show errors, I needed to change the parameter to 'user_id', but in other parts of the code I could use, really don't know why, but try to rename the parameter.
