Hey I'm just starting to learn cakephp and have a question... I was
wondering what the best way to handle static pages and the home page
is. This is what I've done:
In the routes file I added:
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages'));
And I commented out these two lines:
//Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'home'));
//Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'display'));
So now the top directory (the home page) routes to PagesController-
>index(); and it uses the view pages/index.ctp
Furthermore if I want a static /about page I create the route:
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages/about'));
And now /about routes to PagesController->about(); and uses the view
at pages/about.ctp
Using this method I have to create a new route for every static page
as well as add an event for each static page in the PagesController.
Is this the best method or is there a better way? I feel like I just
made this way of doing static pages up and it's not the way they are
meant to be handled.
Also on an unrelated note, how do I find threads that I previously
made in google groups? Yesterday I made a new post and it took 6
hours to appear. And to see if it had any replies I have to search
through the Topic list
Thanks
