hi Dan you should start from here: http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/configuration especially "Section 4 Advanced Routing Configuration: Admin Routing and Webservices"
in your case, you'll probably want to set CAKE_ADMIN = 'console' this is for the "directory structure" (or rather "url structure") it allows you to have special actions in your controllers, for exemple "admin_action()", which you can call with this url : http://domain.com/console/controller_name/action/foo... then, as said in the manual, you'll need to build an authentification, session and user management system on top, or use one that already exists. I personnally use a customized version of othAuth for user/group/permissions and auth/session handling, as it's powerful and has an easy support for CAKE_ADMIN routing. http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/148 ++++++++ clemos On 2/1/07, Dan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi there, > > I'm backing a simple CMS system with the awesome Cake and am wondering > about best practices for the directory structure. > > In a nutshell I'd like > > http://domain -> main public pages > > http://domain/console -> access to views, etc via authenticated > session > > at the moment I'm using a view called 'www' to house the public pages > and using a routeing config to push the user there. > > Is this an okay way to go? > > Many thanks > > Dan > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
