can somebody clarify this things to me, cos I started to develop my
site and Im so confused now.
1)I copied pages_controller to my app/controllers/ and added index()
and about() method and added index.ctp layout to app/view/layouts (and
changed in app/config/routes.php - Router::connect('/', array
('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'index', 'index')); )
so going to my root in www, everything is fine. layout is displayed.
but now when I go to host.com/about (host.com/about.html or whatever)
I see error page telling me that about_controller is not found. from
documentation Im getting that default routes
http://example.com/controller/action/param1/param2/param3 to
controller:action(param1,..) so why now Im getting the error like
this, or should I add some routing to handle situation like above,
so my question is should I every time route cake with every link I
create or can I stay with defaults but should start thinking in some
way. in another words how cake knows that url part refers to
controller or action. in genral what I need for now are links like
that
page.com/
page.com/about
page.com/products
page.com/products/product1
so I thought that ill create pages_controller:index()/about() and
products_controller:index()/product1 or again products1_controller if
needed.
2) If I create abouts_controller and put it into app/controllers/ I
will be notified that I dont have table in my db that maps to about.
but what if I dont want to get data from db? even though I created
empty model about.ctp the problem still persist. I tried to $this-
>loadModel('); but no luck.
second question is how to avoid models to be persisted from db or is
that only pages_controller for static (no db) pages.
and third as I assume views are totally optional cos they always
render within used layout and this can be totally static and this
doesnt implies errors that Im getting??
