I know this comes up a lot. I've always fixed this before (1.1) with a
core hack. I thought that as I moved my sites to 1.2 now I would come
up with a little better solution.
I'm not sure if this is the best solution but it works for me. I want
others thoughts and opinions for this solution.
THE BASICS:
Use a class within the routes config to pull all files from the "view/
pages" directory. Loop through this to account for directories and
such. Store these in array (do a little hygiene). Then, loop through
this array and create a custom route for each page.
It works for me, but I am still thinking there is a better way of
integrating this into cake. I'll provide the code I'm using on my dev
box below. Any suggestions are welcome....
/////Component that does all the work....... (should this not be a
component?)
<?php
class PagesRoutesConfigComponent extends Object {
var $default_dir;
var $pages;
var $dirs;
var $deleted_dirs;
function __construct(){
$this->default_dir = '/users/jesseainskeep/sites/inskeep-
photography/app/views/pages/';
$this->pages = array();
$this->dirs = array();
$this->deleted_dirs = array();
//run through default directory
$this->getPagesFromDir($this->default_dir);
//funny way or writing this... this populates the pages array
and jumps through each directory it sees
$exit = true;
while ($exit){
//run through array...
foreach ($this->dirs as $key=>$value){
$value = $value . "/";
$this->getPagesFromDir($value);
$this->deleted_dirs[] = $value;
unset($this->dirs[$key]);
}
if (empty($this->dirs)){
$exit = false;
}
}
//kill the full path attached to each "page"
foreach ($this->pages as $key=>$value){
$this->pages[$key] = str_replace($this->default_dir, '',
$value);
}
}
function getPagesFromDir($sentDir){
$search = array('.ctp', '.thtml');
$replace = '';
if (is_dir($sentDir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($sentDir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (is_file($sentDir . $file)){
$file = str_replace($search, $replace, $file);
$this->pages[] = $sentDir . $file;
}elseif(is_dir($sentDir . $file) && $file != "." &&
$file != ".." ){
$this->dirs[] = $sentDir . $file;
}
}
closedir($dh);
}else{
echo "Cannot open sent 'dir'!";
}
}else{
echo "Sent 'dir' not available!";
}
}
function printAll(){
echo "<h1>Pages</h1>";
print_r($this->pages);
echo "<br /><br />";
echo "<h1>Directories</h1>";
print_r($this->dirs);
echo "<br /><br />";
echo "<h1>Deleted Directories</h1>";
print_r($this->deleted_dirs);
echo "<br /><br />";
}
}
?>
////Code in routes file...
//read all files in pages directory and create custom route for each
one
include_once('/users/jesseainskeep/sites/inskeep-photography/app/
controllers/components/pages_routes_config.php');
$worker = new PagesRoutesConfigComponent();
foreach ($worker->pages as $page){
Router::connect($page, array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'display', ltrim($page, '/')));
}
As I said, this is my first stab and there will for sure need to be
revisions (dynamically pulling Cake path, auto loading component vs.
doing include, ect).
This works good on my machine, but I'm sure there are problems.
Suggestions welcome!
