Yii2 change url structure

Question

Instead of have:

http://www.example.com/affiliate?ref=123456546546

I prefer to have

http://www.example.com/affiliate/ref/123456546546

Is it possible to pass GET param without changing .htaccess and keep my desired structure ?

Answer 1

try to add an rule to your UrlManager I guess your controller is affiliate and your action index

'urlManager' => [
...
   'rules' => [
      '<controller:(affiliate)>/ref/<ref:\d+>' => '<controller>/index',
   ]
...
]

I guess if you set custom rules you also have to add the following so that the default url's are still working.

 '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
 '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
