Re: Custom router question
I created the report plugin using the cake command line: cake bake plugin report The folder structure for the plugin looks just like the main application's one - views, controllers, models, etc. So I created a view/controller for each report I want. It's very simple. Be sure to read http://book.cakephp.org/view/119/Plugin-Tips Once a plugin has been installed in /app/plugins, you can access it at the URL /pluginname/controllername/action. In our pizza ordering plugin example, we'd access our PizzaOrdersController at /pizza/ pizzaOrders. That's what triggered me to use plugins - the url format.

Re: Custom router question
I have to do a similar thing in my Cake app, so I'm very interested to
hear how you go about it in the end. For the time being I've taken
your first approach of having a report-per-action in the one
controller.
I was thinking about defining each report in the Model layer however
(similar to what cricket was saying) by parameterising each report
into the necessary fields and then defining them in the app itself or
in the database. Hadn't thought about the routing issues yet however.

Re: Custom router question
What about a custom routing prefix ( ie. admin routing ) - just add
'reports' to the prefix array and then in the sales controller do a
reports_index function and in the customers controller define a
reports_index function and cakes default routing will give you the 2
urls you used as an example.

Re: Custom router question
I've looked at the profiles routing before, and the reason I didn't
like was because I couldn't use the reports name for the top folder
hierarchy. So basically I have to create a sales_controller.php
instead of reports_sales_controller.php
But it looks like it's the only viable solution so far. Thanks :)

Re: Custom router question
Oh yes, another question. According to the manual:
You can configure the Router to use multiple prefixes too:
Plain Text View
Router::connect('/profiles/:controller/:action/*', array('prefix' =
'profiles', 'profiles' = true));
1. Router::connect('/profiles/:controller/:action/*',
array('prefix' = 'profiles', 'profiles' = true));
I don't understand what that boolean assignment is for.

It means that this route has 'profile' set, just as you would do with
a regular admin route. I'm not sure why it's necessary to have both
that and the 'prefix' option. It does appear that 'prefix' should
suffice. Unless it's possible to have a prefixed route where $prefix
is false. Makes no sense to me, though.
