How to specify layout once
So I have admin functions in my controller. I can change the layout used by doing: $this-layout = 'admin'; But instead of adding that line in for each of my admin actions I was wondering if there was a way to do it just once.

RE: For basic page_controller what is the typical setup
Ok so make my own dynamic page controller. So how about if I want the urls
to be:
Domain.com/home
Domain.com/about
Domain.com/projects
Etc ...
So would I create specific methods in my controller for each of those:
e.g.
function home()
{
}
function about()
{
}
function projects()
{
}
Thanks, Mark

Subject: Re: For basic page_controller what is the typical setup
cake's pages controller is meant for static pages.
for dynamic pages, i would create a new controller, along with a
model. Although you could override the pagescontroller to extend it's
functionality offcourse.
And i think the using elements for menus is a good idea, i do it too.
Although you must be careful: if the element is called in the layout,
it will _always_ be shown when the default layout is used (hence:
probably for each section on your site)
so you must be sure the $menu variable is always set. The home action
is not the right place for that.
AppController's beforeRender function is a good place to do that.
You could even put the $this-requestAction('/menus/getMenus') right
in the menu element. It's very easy and many people do it like that

Help with associations and scaffolding
So I have a cookbook application with recipes and categories:
Recipes
id:title:recipe:created_on:category_id
Categories
id:name
I am trying to use bake to setup the associations between the categories and
recipes:
CATEGORY MODEL
class Category extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Category';
//The Associations below have been created with all possible keys,
those that are not needed can be removed
var $hasMany = array(
'Recipe' =
array('className' = 'Recipe',
'foreignKey' =
'category_id',
'conditions' = '',
'fields' = '',
'order' = '',
'limit' = '',
'offset' = '',
'dependent' = '',
'exclusive' = '',
'finderQuery' = '',
'counterQuery' = ''
),
);
}
RECIPE MODEL
class Recipe extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Recipe';
//The Associations below have been created with all possible keys,
those that are not needed can be removed
var $hasOne = array(
'Category' =
array('className' = 'Category',
'foreignKey' = 'id',
'conditions' = '',
'fields' = '',
'order' = '',
'dependent' = ''
),
);
}
Do I have the concept or am I missing something?
I also had bake setup the controllers and views for me. When I view a recipe
say with category_id = 2, category 1 shows up under views. Also should the
add/edit view generated by scaffold have the categories as a select box with
the categories in it? Right now I have a text box which makes me think that
I don't have the associates set up correctly.
Thanks Mark
