If you're going to be having a lot of static pages, it may be worth
your while to use Cake's Folder and File objects. You can loop through
the .ctp files assign the routes dynamically.
Here's a quick snippet that will go through all of the .ctp files in
the pages directory. This will be in app/config/routes.php
App::import( 'Core', 'Folder' );
$path = APP . 'views' . DS . 'pages' . DS;
$files = new Folder( $path );
$p = $files->find( '(.+)\.ctp' );
foreach( $p as $file ){
if( file_exists( $path . $file ) ){
$tmp = str_replace( $path, '', substr( $file, 0, (strlen
($file)-4) ) );
Router::connect('/' . $tmp, array('controller' =>
'pages', 'action'
=> 'display', $tmp ));
}
}
Do note that this won't recursively get all of the files. You'll need
to use the Folder::findRecursive method if you'll be using additional
directories for your static pages.
