nate, i like that approach because it is less likely to break other things at the build level, and it will ensure that my installation of cakephp stays clean and free of hacks.
the only reason i was thinking that it might be appropriate to do it the other way is that every little amount of processing that has to be done to remap an input url to the actual url for the resource just adds to the amount of time it takes to get to the actual resource. at the same time, computers are fast enough that this amout of time is trivial all in all. my thinking was that if it was just as easy to set up the build scripts to create file names that had the dashes, then i'd do it that way. but i'll take your word for it that it's more trouble than it's worth and go for an .htaccess translation or a routes configuration. on that note, i didn't quite undestand the whole routes thing. specifically, i want to know whether routes or htaccess files are more efficient. secondly, do routes cause an actual redirect, or can it perform the redirect silently? third, do routes have any affect on search engine spiderability vs. .htaccess url translations? thanks for your help. have a great night. jim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
