I'm so new in CakePHP but... Routing.admin is an configuration value for define the prefix that will use CakePHP for name and route the "admin" actions... i.e. if you view the AuthComponent Class in the initialize function; CakePHP read this value to determine how are called the "admin" CRUD actions and add it to actionMap (for controller based ACL)...
it isn't a kind of "shortcut" to route whatever, this is an configuration value Regards On 23 feb, 10:06, Rob Wilkerson <r...@robwilkerson.org> wrote: > Today I got to wondering about admin routing.
