I am working on a site that will need 3 themes, one each for the games
the community is playing. After reading about custom routes I thought
I had the brilliant idea of using prefix routes to set the variable of
the game. So I set up 3 routes like so
Router::connect('/jge/:controller/:action', array('prefix' => 'jge');
Router::connect('/potbs/:controller/:action', array('prefix' =>
'potbs');
Router::connect('/war/:controller/:action', array('prefix' => 'war');
Each controller would then have an appropriately prefixed action that
would set the flag indicating what game data the controller was
supposed to use and then would call a more generic action to handle
the actual processing. However this is not quite working like I
thought it would and may turn out to be more work than is necessary.
So I did some more searching and found this post here
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/debd92698551f9ea/8b4e69a774ba755f?lnk=gst&q=custom+route#8b4e69a774ba755f
and I'm wondering if something like this may be possible:
Router::connet('/:game/:controller/:action', array('game' =>'[a-z]+')
Also, I seemed to have run into some issues with Form helper
defaulting to the first prefix when creating the action attribute of
the form despite not being in that path. For example I was playing
around with the Auth component and accessed /users/login directly
without any of the prefix paths, but this line
$form->create('Login', array('action' => 'login'))
automatically decided that the action for the form should be /jge/
users/login. Is this supposed to happen?
