I'm creating a website using CakePHP.
It has user Registration and Login system.
So at first i have a controller called HomeController which has three methods
1) index();
2) login();
3) register();
by default index() method will execute.
i have the following code to call other two methods.
<? php
echo $this->Html->link('Login',array('controller'=>'Home','action'=>'login'),array('escape'=>FALSE));
echo $this->Html->link('Register',array('controller'=>'Home','action'=>'register'),array('escape'=>FALSE));
?>
So now when i click on the above links (login,register) it will call appropriate method and the url will be something like
www.example.com/home/login and www.example.com/home/register
Now i want to remove the controller name from the url since the method is in the same controller.
So the url should look like
www.example.com/login and www.example.com/register
is it possible??
Please help..
in app\Config\routes.php add following lines
Router::connect('/login', array('controller' => 'home', 'action' => 'login'));
Router::connect('/register', array('controller' => 'home', 'action' => 'register'));
It will convert default urls to your desired urls
www.example.com/login and www.example.com/register
Router::parseExtensions('json');
Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'home',
'action' => 'login'));
Router::connect('/login', array('controller' => 'home',
'action' => 'login'));

I am new on Cakephp. I am using latest version of cakephp. I have created an controller "PostsController" and want to make it home page. But when I have set it to home page from routes.php nothing happens. I am using subdomain like - cakephp.example.com. Here is my routes.php code
$routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Posts', 'action' => 'index', 'home']);
Can anyone please help me why it is not working? Is there anything need to do in htaccess file?
Router: (only once in your router class)
$routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Posts', 'action' => 'index']);
src/Controllers/PostsController:
public function index()
{
// your code here
}
src/Template/Posts/index.ctp
<h1>Hello world</h1>
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 deal/deals for all the actions of deals controller:
http://example.com/deal/deals/voucher/dsfsdfdf should be http://example.com/voucher/cPH5aGr1
etc.
You should define you routes in you app/config/routes.php
Router::connect('/voucher/*', array('controller' => 'Deals', 'action' => 'voucher', 'plugin' => 'Deal'));
I'm using cakephp 2.3.8 and I want to create custom content for my homepage. I'm having trouble getting anything from the Pages Controller to the home.ctp view
In my Pages Controller I've created a home function :
public function home() {
$test = 'test';
$this->set(compact('test'));
}
But when I go to home and check with the debug kit I can see there is no $test variable.
How do I get information from the controller to the view for the home page?
My guess is that the default route for the pages controller is causing you trouble:
Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display'));
So when you go to /pages/home, it thinks it's got to execute the 'display' action still.
Try putting a route above it like this:
Router::connect('/pages/home', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'home'));
Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display'));
That way, the home page will render your home action, and all others will render the default 'display' action.
That's all in /app/config/routes.php.
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));
