How to create the route in symfony 2 which maps to external URL?

[vishal melmatti]

Hi All,

Referring to this,

http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/routing.html

we can map url pattern to controller and action

# app/config/routing.yml
blog_show:
path: /blog/{slug}
defaults: { _controller: AcmeBlogBundle:Blog:show }

I want to map the path to external url.

# app/config/routing.yml
blog_show:
path: /blog/{slug}
defaults: "www.example.com/blog"

The requirement is, my current website is in kohana, I am porting it
gradually to symfony 2. For my symfony2 app kohana URL are like external
urls, I want to configure these urls in routing and use them in standard
way,

e.g. in Twig,

<a href="{{ path('blog_show'}}">
Read this blog post.
</a>

So later on when I port my pages to Symfony, I will have to change only
routing file so that I could use same blog_show key to refer to url and I
wont' have to change all the files where I have used urls.

Thanks

Why not create a controller method that returns a redirect to the correct
URL? In your routing you map the url to that controller method.

I'm not sure if I understood the original problem properly. But for
this to achieve there is no need to create a controller:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/routing/redirect_in_config.html

hello:

i think this is a error concept. in the cookbook, explains how to redirect
to an "internal url" without use a controller... But your problem is to
redirect an "External" url...
Also, in the cookbook really use a controller,

_controller: FrameworkBundle:Redirect:urlRedirect


Maybe the Redirect controller can receives an external url in your
configuration, like this:

root:
path: /blog/{slug}
defaults:
_controller: FrameworkBundle:Redirect:urlRedirect
path: www.example.com/blog

permanent: true


can you try this???
