Hi All,
I'm working on a project at the moment which has a main site then sub
sites for venue franchises. The venue sub sites are effectively the
same as the main site but the news items etc are filtered to be only
for that particular venue.
The way I have this setup at the moment is as follows (I'll use news
as an example):
-Just a standard news model
-a main controller for news news_controller.php
-a sub controller for each venue i.e. venue1_news_controller.php -
this is the same as the normal news controller except it has a
condition to filter only news items for 'venue1'
-normal news views
-a venue1 sub folder in news containing slightly different views
(mainly to add a hidden venue id field when adding news so when a
venue1 editor can only add news for venue1) - accessed in the venue1
news controller via changing the view path
-Then I have routes setup ie: Router::connect('/venue1/news/:action/
*', array('controller' => 'venue1_news'));
Now this all works perfectly fine. However, what concerns me is the
amount of times I'm effectively repeating things which are - bar a few
small differences - doing essentially the same thing. Also, if I have
to make changes to the news controller I effectively have to update
each sub controller too.
I'm just wondering if this is the best way to go about things? Is
there a better way where I could have only one news controller/set of
views but somehow add the conditions for the venues on the fly or
something?
Thanks.
