SEO friendly url for Kohana 3.3.0 or higher

older versions you search in separate branches

Usage

1. Copy the directory "seo" to directory "modules" in project Kohana

2. Add module in bootstrap:

application/bootstrap.php

'seo'        => MODPATH.'seo',        // SEO friendly url

3. Create class SEO in application/classes, where you define a connection between the key and pair controller-action and friendly url, for example:

application/classes/seo.php

class SEO extends Kohana_SEO
{
	static protected $map =
		array(
			1 => array('welcome' => array('index' => 'welcome-to-our-website')),
			2 => array('test'    => array('index' => 'test-test-test')),
		);
}

4. You must override the method "matches" of class Route:

application/classes/route.php

class Route extends Kohana_Route
{
	public function matches(Request $request)
	{
		$controller_action = seo::get_controller_action($request);
		
		return
			isset($controller_action)
				?   array_combine(array_keys($this->_defaults), $controller_action)
				:   parent::matches($request);
	}
}

5. Example in controller:

/* without query */
$this->template->link = HTML::anchor(SEO::friendly_url('welcome', 'index'), 'link - welcome');

/* with query */
$this->template->link = HTML::anchor(SEO::friendly_url('welcome', 'index', array('id'=>'xxx')), 'link - welcome');
// then to get the value of the "id"
// $id = $this->request->query('id');

6. In view:

<?php echo $link ?>
