Hi There,
New to Cake and MVC Frameworks so still trying to get my head wrapped
around these ideas.
I am only allowing users to add content to preset pages: Home | About
| Partners, etc.
I have my page model:
id
title
body
keywords
display_order
created_on
active
Now I get to the confusing part,
I'd rather have the URLS looks like:
domain.com/home or domain.com/
domain.com/about
than
domain.com/pages/view/1
I assume this can be setup in the app/config/routes.php.
In my pages_controller.php instead of using view would I set up
methods called home/about/partners/ etc?
Here is an example method:
function home()
{
$this->Page->id = 1;
$this->set('data', $this->Page->read());
$this->set( 'menu_data',
$this->requestAction('/menus/getMenus'));
}
I'm not sure if this is the correct way to use the controller. Also
I'm not sure if where I am grabbing the menu information I'm doing it
in the best way. I have set up an element called menus.thtml:
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<?php
foreach( $menu_data as $menu )
{
$html .= '<li><a href="' . $menu['Menu']['url'] . '">' . $menu['Menu']
['name'] .'</a></li>';
}
echo $html;
?>
</ul>
</div>
And in my default.thtml I call the renderElement method to pull in the
menu.
Anyway Thanks in advance, mark
