matching url to title page

Question

Hi so how do you do it in kohana 3.3 and kostache?

Form

<form method="POST" action="user/login">

<input type="text" name="email" />
<input type="passowrd" name="password" />

</form>

Controller

 public function action_login()
 {
   $user = Auth::instance()->login($this->request->post('email'),$this->request->post('password'));

   if($user)
   {
       $view = Kostache_Layout::factory()
       $layout = new View_Pages_User_Info();

       $this->response->body($this->view->render($layout));
   }
   else
   {
       $this->show_error_page();
   }

 }

Class View

class View_Pages_User_Info
{
    public $title= "Profile";
}

Mustache Template

   <p> This is the Profile Page</p>

So far so good, I'm now in the profile page but the url is

localhost/kohana_app/user/login 

instead of

localhost/kohana_app/user/profile

I know I can change the action_login to action_profile to match the url and the title of the page but is there any other way to do this?

Answer 1

Forget about a body for the response if the login was succesful and redirect to the profile page.

HTTP::redirect(Route::get('route that routes to the profile page')->uri(/* Just guessing */'action' => 'profile'));

Read up on Post/Redirect/Get.

Example route(s) as requested

Route::set('home', '')
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'Home',
    ));

Route::set('auth', 'user/<action>', array('action' => 'login|logout'))
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'User',
    ));

Route::set('user/profile/edit', 'user/profile/edit(/<user>)')
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'User_Profile', // Controller_User_Profile
        'action' => 'edit',
    ));

Route::set('user/profile/view', 'user/profile(/<action>(/<user>))', array('action' => 'edit'))
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'User_Profile',
    ));

############

class Controller_User_Profile {

    public function action_index()
    {
        // ...

        $this->action_view($user->username());
    }

    public function action_view($user = NULL)
    {
        if ($user === NULL)
        {
            $user = $this->request->param('user');
        }

        // ...
    }
}

Personally I like to send my users to a dashboard, which can be(come) different from viewing your own profile.

This is just A way of doing it.
