You can use a custom class to handle you special requests.
I have used sth like this, to get my custom URLs out of a database:
'urlManager'=>array(
'rules'=>array(
array(
'class' => 'application.components.UrlRule',
),
),
),
Then you create your custo class similar to this:
<?php
Yii::import("CBaseRule");
class UrlRule extends CBaseUrlRule
{
public function createUrl($manager,$route,$params,$ampersand)
{
// check for my special case of URL route, if not found, then return the unchaged route
preg_match("/^(.+)\/(.+)$/", $route, $r);
if(!is_array($r) or !isset($r[1]) or !isset($r[2])) {
return $route;
}
// handle your own route request, and create your url
$url = 'my-own-url/some-thing';
// check for any params, which i also want to add
$urlParams = $manager->createPathInfo($params,"=","&");
$return = trim($url,'/');
$return.= $urlParams ? "?" . $urlParams : "";
return $return;
}
public function parseUrl($manager,$request,$pathInfo,$rawPathInfo)
{
// handle my special url request
$controller = '....';
$action = '.....';
// return the controller/action that should be used
return lcfirst($controller)."/".$action;
}
}
I do not know if this was what you wanted, but at least in this class you can do everything you need with the URL requested.
If you would e.g. like to redirect a lot of similar URLs with a 301 Redirect to 1 URL, you could think of sth like this in the parseUrl
function
// check my route and params, and if I need to redirect
$request->redirect('/your/new/url/?params=bla',true,'301');
