Okay so the problem I am having deals with using CakePhp (v3) and AngularJS. I want to use CakePhp purely to host my JSON webservices. I have this working and the routes prefixed with API. The problem I have is getting Html 5 routing to work with Angular. For instance, if I go to http://localhost/appname/home I want Angular to intercept this route not CakePhp. Currently, if I were to do this CakePhp will complain that the HomeController doesn't exist. I found this stack overflow post which allowed me to get Angular Hashtag routing functional/while maintaining the /api/* routes, but I really don't like to have my routes look like http://localhost/appname/#/home. I feel like there should be an .htaccess change I could make to allow Cake to handle the default URL path (ie: http://localhost/ thus opening by default home.ctp) but otherwise only look for http://localhost/api/* prefixed routes. I did try adding a RewriteRule ^/api/* with no luck unfortunately. I typically don't work in Apache/PHP in general so I am struggling to find the solution to this problem. Also, I made sure the rewrite module is enabled in my httpd.conf file. Here is my current routes.php file showing the API prefixing and the default routes to bring up home.ctp when hitting the root of the host. Any guidance from a more seasoned *AMP developer is much appreciated!
<?php
use Cake\Core\Plugin;
use Cake\Routing\Router;
Router::defaultRouteClass('Route');
Router::prefix('api', function ($routes) {
$routes->extensions(['json', 'xml']);
$routes->resources('Users');
$routes->resources('UserInfo');
Router::connect('/api/users/register', ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'add', 'prefix' => 'api']);
Router::connect('/api/userinfo/create', ['controller' => 'UserInfo', 'action' => 'add', 'prefix' => 'api']);
$routes->fallbacks('InflectedRoute');
});
Router::scope('/', function ($routes) {
$routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home']);
$routes->connect('/pages/*', ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display']);
$routes->fallbacks('InflectedRoute');
});
Plugin::routes();
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but by the time the request gets to the server, wouldn't it already be too late? If you want "angular to intercept" the route, the solution would need to be done client side and not in a .htaccess file. So you would have angular route that routes /appname/home to the correct file.

I am new in cakephp3. Can anyone tell me how we use redirection in the cake php 3. My concept is this if user login then it's redirect to the dashboard controller which is in Backend folder.
You're most likely looking for the 'prefix' attribute
Example:
return $this->redirect([
'prefix'=>'backend'
'controller' => 'Dashboards',
'action' => 'index'
]);

I am using CakePHP 2.6.9.
I want to do following:
www.example.com/detail/10 should refer to controller => frontends and action => detail
www.example.com/admins/login should refer to controller => admins and action => login
I edited routes.php as follows:
Router::connect('/:action/*',
array('controller' => 'frontends', 'action' =>'detail'));
But when I try www.example.com/admins/login it shows the following error:
The action admins is not defined in controller FrontendsController
It proves that www.example.com/admins/login refers to
Router::connect('/:action/*',
array('controller' => 'frontends', 'action' =>'detail'));
Routing. I want
Router::connect('/:action/*',
array('controller' => 'frontends', 'action' =>'detail'));
will be only for controller => frontends and action=>detail, rest of url will work as default. Any idea?
this will do want you want.
Router::connect('/detail/*', array('controller' => 'Frontends', 'action' =>'detail'));
Mostly cakephp urls are like /controller/action/id. Your template of the route /:action/* tells that you are not using controller names in urls instead you are using only action names like /detail/id and /admins/id, and all actions are in Frontends controller. You can see from the error message that it tried to find admins action in Frontends conntroller.
I want to remove controller name from url. It works for one controller but it does not work for more than one controller. Here is my code in Route.php:
Router::connect('videos/:action', array('controller' => 'videos'));
Router::connect('/:action', array('controller' => 'frontends'));
but when I try to access http://local.tbn24.dev/videos it shows:
Error: The action videos is not defined in controller FrontendsController
which proves the above url refer
Router::connect('/:action', array('controller' => 'frontends'));
I want this url to reach the videos controller index function. How could I use both Route::connect() configuration?
but when I try to access http://local.tbn24.dev/videos
There is no route for that
Of the two routes defined, this one does not match the above url as it is only one path segment:
Router::connect('videos/:action', array('controller' => 'videos'));
Therefore, it'll match the catch all route, with videos being interpretted as the action to look for.
Also note that without a leading slash, the route won't match any request as they will always start with a leading slash.
A route to match only a controller name
To define a route to match /videos - either define a route to match that specific string:
Router::connect('/videos', array('controller' => 'videos', 'action' => 'index'));
Or, define a route with a restrictive pattern:
Router::connect(
'/:controller',
array('action' => 'index'),
array('controller' => 'videos|stuff'),
);
For more information on routes, check the documentation for the version of CakePHP you are using.
How do I show the URL through CroogoRouter::connect function in CakePHP?
I passed the name of controller and action my routes file like:
CroogoRouter::connect('/', array('admin' => true, 'controller' => 'dashboard', 'action' => 'index'));
and I get redirected to the dashboard page, but I do not see the URL properly. I want my URL as localhost/abc/admin/dashboard and it is showing as localhost/abc only.
Since you are using the webroot (/) as route alias, it will not show the admin/dashboard bit. If you really want that (I'd discourage it if it's just for fancy display purposes), you should create a simple controller action that redirects. For example if you alter the route to this:
CroogoRouter::connect('/', array('controller' => 'dashboard', 'action' => 'home'));
And then in the DashboardsController create this action:
public function home() {
$this->autoRender = false; // We have no view, so don't render anything
$this->redirect(array('admin' => true, 'controller' => 'dashboard', 'action' => 'index'));
}
It should display the URL as you want it. Again, if it's only for display purposes (to make it look "nice") and not for any SEO kind of purpose, I'd discourage using such an ugly workaround. But it should do the trick either way.
Can you please check the controller name i think controller name should be dashboards or something.

I'm developing a simple CMS in CakePHP, right now it has 4 controllers in it(Menus,Site,Roles,Users), I want to rewrite one controller, but I'm having problem.
I use all the actions only as admins for admin purpose like admin_view, admin_add......
except siteController(this controller is only for frontend purpose)
I need my www.example.com/site/view/something_here must be replaced to www.example.com/something_here - this will be displayed in front-end so.
I added a line in my routes file:
Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'site', 'action' => 'view'));
But after adding this I couldn't able to use other controllers.
I again added some more lines before the above line:
Router::connect('/admin/Menus/*', array('controller' => 'menus', 'prefix' => 'admin'));
Same for all other controllers, but if I send any action or id in url it doesn't works.
like - http://www.exmple.com/admin/menus/[view/1] - the one inside square bracket doesn't works.
any Ideas on rewriting this?
I just answered a similar question on another thread.
To put the admin controller routes before the '/*'-route was the right idea, but the way you did it the router can't assign an action. You could use the following for each controller:
Router::connect('/admin/Menus/:action/*', array('controller' => 'menus', 'prefix' => 'admin'));
Or you could use the default prefix-routing routes, so you don't have to add a route for each new controller.
// prefix routing default routes with admin prefix
Router::connect("/admin/:controller", array('action' => 'index', 'prefix' => 'admin', 'admin' => true));
Router::connect("/admin/:controller/:action/*", array('prefix' => 'admin', 'admin' => true));
