I'd like to make an application in CakePHP which manages exercises and
users results. Users and results are not important in this question.
I want to have a possibility to add an exercise with adding only a specific
table and line to .ini config file. Application should route to a
GenericExercisesController if specific one doesn't exists. Controller
should load a GenericExerciseModel if specific doesn't exists. I'd managed
with model loading and partially with routing with controller like this:
In `route.php`
foreach(Configure::read('exercisesTables') as $exerciseName){
if( App::import('Controller', Inflector::pluralize($exerciseName))){
Router::connect('/exercises/'.Inflector::pluralize($exerciseName).'/:action',
array('controller' => Inflector::pluralize($exerciseName)));
}else{
Router::connect('/exercises/'.Inflector::pluralize($exerciseName).'/:action',
array('controller' => 'GenericExercises', 'fakeModel' => $exerciseName));
}
}
So if I want to load an exercise **Foo** I should use address:
`http://example.com/exercises/Foos/view`
And this works fine, doesn't matter if specific controller exists.
Problem begins when I use reverse routing to generate links in views. If
exercise **Foo** have specific controller this works correctly:
`print $this->Html->url(array('controller' =>
Inflector::pluralize($exerciseName), 'action' => 'view'));`
produces:
`/exercises/Foos/view`
But when exercise **Bar** doesn't have specific controller then the same
code produces:
`/Bars`
This causes a problem, there is no `Bars` Controller.
Temporarily I'm generating those links manually, but I don't think that
this is the best solution:
`print
$this->Html->url("/".Configure::read('exerciseRoutingPrefix')."/".Inflector::pluralize($exerciseName)."/view");`
Those are routes in `route.php` defined before `foreach` in order as
they're in file:
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'questions', 'action' =>
'regulations'));
Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display'));
Router::connect('/help', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'faq'));
Maybe someone of you know a better solution. Thank you for reading my
question.
