I got the following problem. I'm trying to set-up a basic CMS in
CakePHP. I've made one before by myself but I was starting to port
more and more CakePHP alike functions into it so I figured I should
just switch to CakePHP completely. However, I'm running into a problem
with the routing. The idea is to have a PageController that handles
regular page requests.
Examples: www.website.com/home/ , www.website.com/about/, etc.
The above url's should actually go to: www.website.com/page/index/home/,
www.website.com/page/index/about/, etc.
Making index the default action for page is no problem, so this
results in the following urls:
www.website.com/page/home/, www.website.com/page/about/, etc.
My question is as follow: How can I get rid of the /page/ controller
in the URL. I need this single controller to handle the index/var/
routes because pages can be editted, deleted and added. I did find a
solution that cached a list of available controllers, and then check
whether /:page (using a regex) is a controller. If not it will use it
as a parameter for page/index/, otherwise it will just load the
correct controller. This seemed to work fine, untill I added the
'admin' prefix. Calls to /admin/page/index/ (admin_index function) are
redirected to page/index/, simply because 'admin' isn't a controller.
The code used is as below:
Router::connect('/:page', array('controller' => 'page', 'action' =>
'index'), array('pass' => array('page'), 'page' => '(?!('.
$controllers.')\W+)[a-zA-Z0-9\s\/]+/?$'));
$controllers is the list of cached controllers in the application.
Could someone please point me in the right direction or provide a
solution that handles my problem.
