I tried this one: http://snook.ca/archives/cakephp/static_pages_cakephp12/
It did not work. I saved the file in app/error.php and it didn't seem to effect a thing. I had a test.ctp vew in both the /views and /views/ pages directory (I wasn't sure where it was supposed to be so I tried both) and they did not load. So then I tried this method: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/taking-advantage-of-the-pages-controller It works! Someone commented though that it will mess up admin routing (haven't learned what that is yet). So I am not sure if I should search for a different method. Does anyone know any good ones? That does not require a route for each static page?
