如何在Kohana PHP Framework中的url路由中显示用户名？

Question

I am working on Kohana PHP framework.

I want to show a 'username' instead of controller name in my URL.

For example,

username = james then how to show

http://localhost:3000/james

instead of

http://localhost:3000/scrapbook/index => ... localhost:3000/scrapbook

(controller: scrapbook, action: index)

in the url.

My bootstrap file have the entry for such types of url. If I manually write ..//localhost:3000/james, it takes me to the requested page.

//Viewing a user's profile or account details - user/action
Route::set('profile', '(<username>(/<action>(/<id>)))',
    array(
        'username'   => '([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)'))
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'scrapbook',
        'action'     => 'index'));

What I want is if I manually signin and go to scrapbook, my url should show 'username' and not the name of the controller. I will appreciate if anyone can guide me in this. Thanks

When you complete your sign in action, you'll want to redirect the user to the desired URL using reverse routing:

// ...in your controller
function action_signin()
{
    // ...sign in logic

    $this->request->redirect(
        Route::get('profile')->uri(array(
            'username' => $username
        ))
    );
}

$username will be whatever the username of the user of the logged in user is that just signed in.
