I'm generating plain simple links with CakePHP's HtmlHelper the following way:
$html->link("Newest", array(
'controller' => 'posts',
'action' => 'listView',
'page'=> 1,
'sort'=>'Question.created',
'direction'=>'desc',
));
Having the following route rule:
Router::connect('/foobar/*',array(
'controller' => 'posts',
'action' => 'listView'
));
The link is nicely generated as /foobar/page:1/sort:Question.created/direction:desc. Just as I want, it uses my URL prefix instead of controller/action names.
However, for some links I must add named parameters like this:
$html->link("Newest", array(
'controller' => 'posts',
'action' => 'listView',
'page'=> 1,
'sort'=>'Question.created',
'direction'=>'desc',
'namedParameter' => 'namedParameterValue'
));
The link in this case points to /posts/listView/page:1/sort:Question.created/direction:desc/namedParameter:namedParameterValue. But I do not want to have contoller/action names in my URL-s, why is Cake ignoring in this case my routers configuration?
