Re: How to set up site structure with Admin folder and controllers?
HAH. Turned out that this was much easier than I thought. The correct terminology to search for was "Admin Routing" and "Prefix Routing". http://book.cakephp.org/view/544/Prefix-Routing Thanks guys!

Re: How to set up site structure with Admin folder and controllers?
The bakery and manual already talk extensively to admin routing, and
they really could not make it simpler.
I suggest you dig into the manual, and come back with a more focused
question about this.

I agree that it's not really clear how best to do this. The way I
settled on was to load the admin_index views for each of the other
models into my Administrator's admin_index view using jquery's
UI.tabs. I'll run down the basic steps I took.
Create admin_index() actions in each of the models,along with
corresponding views.
Create an admin.ctp layout.
Create an admin_nav.ctp element to include in the admin layout.
Set up the nav to have links to each of the other models' admin_index actions:
site
link(
'members',
array(
'controller' => 'members',
'action' => 'index',
'admin' => 1
),
array(
'id' => 'admin_members',
'title' => 'members administration'
)
);
?>
link(
'posts',
array(
'controller' => 'posts',
'action' => 'index',
'admin' => 1
),
array(
'id' => 'admin_posts',
'title' => 'posts administration'
)
);
?>
Tell jquery you want the above list tabbified:
$('#nav_admin ul').tabs({your options here});
The way tabs work is that, if the href is an external page, it can
load that using ajax. The 1st tab is loaded on default. Thus, my
AdministratorsController::admin_index() is empty. Each of the
admin_index actions for the other models fetches whatever data is
needed and their views displayit as required.
The Administrator's admin_index view looks like:
... etc.
The ajax content for each tab's URL is loaded into the appropriate div
using the title attribute of the link. This also means that I can
target a particular tab from elsewhere. Say you have a list of
Stories in that model's admin_index view, with a link to edit each.
>From the StoriesController's admin_edit action, you can redirect like
so:
$this->flash(
'The Story has been saved',
array(
'controller' => 'administrators',
'action'=>'index',
'#' => 'stories_administration',
'admin' => 1
)
);
If you've set up the tab link with 'title' => 'stories administration'
and have a div with ID stories_administration, this will force jquery
to load the Story tab.
There were a few bumps in the road so, if you go with this idea, feel
free to ask for more detail. This particular post has run long enough.

Re: How to set up site structure with Admin folder and controllers?
Have you looked into admin routing?
You'll just need to prefix your actions and your views with "admin_" to get
it to work (and enable it in app/core.php)
And then set up a route for your admin homepage, which would point to
AdministratorsController::admin_dashboard()
Router::connect('/admin', array('controller' => 'administrators', 'action'
=> 'dashboard', 'admin' => 'admin'));
Hope that helps,
Adam
