Re: Documentation on modifying default REST routes
Thanks for your patient replies. Yes, I did read it even a few times but cannot be sure if I understand correctly. The problem is there is no sample code to test one's understanding. ?phpRouter::connect( /:controller/:id, array(action = edit, [method] = PUT), array(id = [0-9]+)); I am guessing that what it means is that the action edit uses HTTP PUT and the parameter passed in is the id field. id field is a digit. What if I want to pass in 2 or more parameters which are not primary keys? May I know if this can be done in CakePHP? Thank you very much.

Dear Cakephp gurus,
?php
Router::resourceMap(array(
array('action' = 'index', 'method' = 'GET', 'id' = false),
array('action' = 'view', 'method' = 'GET', 'id' = true),
array('action' = 'add', 'method' = 'POST', 'id' = false),
array('action' = 'edit', 'method' = 'PUT', 'id' = true),
array('action' = 'delete', 'method' = 'DELETE', 'id' = true),
array('action' = 'update', 'method' = 'POST', 'id' = true)
));
What does 'id'=false or true means? I cannot find sufficient documentation
in the API documentation.
The id bit probably means that an id is being sent to the method. A
view method needs an id to return the single thing that is being
viewed whereas the index doesn't need one as it returns a list of all
things.
The same for each of the other methods.
Hope this helps.
Mike.
