To generate SEO-friendly URLs using Kohana, you can follow these steps:

1. Configure your routing: In your bootstrap.php file, you can set up routing rules for your URLs. You can define custom routes that map URLs to specific controllers and actions. You can use the Route::set function to define routes with placeholders for dynamic parts of the URL.

For example, you can define a route like this:

1
2
3
4
5

Route::set('product', 'product/<id>', array('id' => 'd+'))
    ->defaults(array(
        'controller' => 'product',
        'action' => 'view',
    ));

This route will match URLs like /product/123 and map them to the view action of the ProductController, passing the product ID as a parameter.

1. Generate URLs in your views or controllers: Once you have defined your routing rules, you can generate SEO-friendly URLs using the URL::site function in your views or controllers.

For example, you can generate a URL to view a specific product like this:

1
2

$product_id = 123;
$url = URL::site('product/'.$product_id);

This will generate a URL like /product/123 using the routing rule you defined earlier.

1. Use clean and descriptive URLs: When defining your routing rules, make sure to use clean and descriptive URLs that include relevant keywords and are easy for users to understand. Avoid using complex or cryptic URLs with unnecessary parameters or dynamic parts.

By following these steps, you can generate SEO-friendly URLs using Kohana that can help improve your site's search engine rankings and make it easier for users to navigate your site.
