So I'm just starting out with Yii and I'm trying to figure out the best way to organize my project. It's largely focused on being local, so I want to have different sections of the site for different cities. I have a city table in my database and I want to organize my URL as such: www.example.com/city-name. For example, if I want to show Chicago, it would be www.example.com/chicago. Right now I have a City controller and my cities are all attached to numeric id's. So my Chicago city (id = 1) URL reads as www.example.com/city/1. I want to get rid of my city controller name in the URL and use the name of the city instead of the id of the city in the URL. I'm assuming the answer lies in this part of the documentation (yes I've tried looking at the documentation): http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.url#using-custom-url-rule-classes - but I'm too new at Yii to decipher that code. First of all, is this the best way to organize my site and secondly, how do I get my URLs to look the way I want? Thanks so much - I've been struggling with this for a couple weeks. Sorry I'm a noob.

Hello, I have studied the method presented in chapter 10 for viewing, editing, and deleting users. However, I am a bit concerned about when a user clicks the link to edit or delete, the user ID is passed via the URL to another page. Ex here: [from view_users.php] <td align="left"><a href="edit_user.php?z=' . $id . '">Edit</a></td> <td align="left"><a href="delete_user.php?z=' .$id . '">Delete</a></td> I have found that I can simply change that ID value and perform an edit or delete on another user. This is a concern especially if that user is not authorized to make that edit or deletion. I believe this example is meant for an admin, but I want to pass this functionality a level below to a group leader that can manage their users. My question for the forum is how could this method be made more secure? I've been racking my brain on this can and can't seem to figure out the best approach. I know passing session variables to the edit and delete scrips would be most secure, but how can I bind the selection of a user (and their respective ID) from a row of names to a specific session variable and then call on that session variable from the edit and delete.php scripts to perform the edit or deletion? I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks,

Although I wasn't expecting to find a book that would provide all the code and the detailed instructions on how to adapt it to construct a dynamic website that does everything I need it to, this book came incredibly close. I am, however, at a dead end regarding perhaps the most crucial part of my grand puzzle. How to have user submitted content automagically appear in the index and create a link to itself? I created a signup page to become a user, and the login page that gets me (and me alone hopefully) to the data entry page where I can input the following to several tables on the database: Artist, Album Title, Album Review, Rating, Several Fields for Links (Artist Website, Label Website, Other Reviews, eCommerce Sites). When I click Submit it all goes up and the following appears at the top of the Reviews index: Artist, Album Title My First, Last, Date Submitted Synopsis (First paragraph of review, which will always be two lines long) I've figured out all the primary to foreign key links, joins Etc but I'm missing how submitting data can create a URL back to itself. I think that answer is in Chapter 19 but I'm just not seeing it. Thanks, PC
