Re: Solution for static page with no "pages" in URL
This is a simple solution, that I prefer.
I ensure that all links to static pages point to .html file
So our link:
www.example.com/pages/about_us
Becomes:
www.example.com/about_us.html (i.e. echo $thml->link('About Us', '/
about_us.html'); )
Then a single route takes care of the rest (for any static page on
your site):
Router::connect(’/(.*).html’, array(’controller’ => ‘pages’, ‘action’
=> ‘display’));

Thank you, Jon. That's exactly right. I can't imagine we are the only ones
who want this sort of functionality !? I would much rather think about
implementing some sort of "default route" functionality into the Router
class. The current quick-and-dirty solution by Jesse isn't too bad, I guess.

Hi Leo,

It's the above route he's trying to avoid. He wants to have:
Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'=> 'display'));
but you can't do that unless you create a route for all your
controllers/actions, as this overrides them all. Hence the need to
create a route for each page via the component.

Re: Solution for static page with no "pages" in URL
This fragment from PagesController::display() handles specific
actions:
<--snip-->
$path = func_get_args();
// Clumsy, but I couldn't find a better solutio in the time
available.
if(end($path) == 'SendEmail')
{
$this->SendEmail();
exit();
}
if(end($path) == 'Something')
{
$this->setAction('Something');
exit();
}
if (!count($path))
<--snip-->
The last lines of router.php look like this:
* ...and connect the rest of 'Pages' controller's urls.
*/
Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'display'));
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'portal', 'action' =>
'index', 'home'));
All the other controllers behave as expected.
It works. The website is http://www.univerd.com (it's in Catalan/
Spanish)(and I didn't do the visual design)

Re: Solution for static page with no "pages" in URL
I like all the suggestions you guys made. These are the suggestions I
was looking for!
I'll take these into consideration and work on it a little. I like the
idea of dropping things into bootstrap to automatically be run.
I'll put something up in the next couple days.

This isn't quite what I need as it makes any request for /controller/action
also go to the pages controller (which is great for static pages but not if
you have some non-static pages in controllers). If you managed to do it, I'd
love to see your solution.

Re: Solution for static page with no "pages" in URL
Ahh..you didn't say that. Seems to me all you need to do is put the
pages in ..er.. pages and make sure that the pages route is last in
the routes.php file. That way everything that has a home will find it
and the rest falls through to pages. No lookup for page names needed.
You might even be able to do a Router::connect('/*',..
I've done something like this before, I just can't access the code.

I like the idea, certainly very handy. That coupled with Gonzalo's
default route idea would make things really good. Some things I'd look
at to make things more cakey
1. Use cake's Folder class to obtain the files
2. Use App::import('component', 'PagesRoutesConfig'); // off top of
head, might be wrong!
3. What about making it work for dynamic pages as well? using
ClassRegistry::init('Page') in your component to get items from the
database
3a. If you do the above, you'll need to watch for duplicates

One other thing, as Router:: is a static class, you should be able to create the routes from within the component.

Are your static pages html or PHP? Either way, why can't you just put
them in webroot? They only need to be inside the cake structure if
they're cake files.

Re: Solution for static page with no "pages" in URL
Thanks both of you for your input.
All my mod_rewrite stuff is working properly.
I was looking for a way to circumvent putting a "Router::connect"
for each static page I have. Some of my sites have 100-150 static
pages. I'm looking for a way to dynamically build the routes for all
the pages.
My script I wrote does work, I was just looking for input from others
on ways to optimize my code a little, or to make sure I was using best
practices.

Re: Solution for static page with no "pages" in URL
In addition to clarkphp's comment, if you have static files inside
directories, ie. views/pages/about/foo.ctp
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about/index'));
Router::connect('/about/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about'));

Re: Solution for static page with no "pages" in URL
Jesse,
Are you wanting to access static pages without seeing the word "pages"
in the URL?
You could edit app/config/routes.php to have lines like this in it:
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about'));
Router::connect('/join', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'join'));
Then if someone accesses your site with http://yoursite/about they see
the page at app/views/pages/about.php
An access using http://yoursite/join would display the join page at
app/views/pages/join.php
Are you using mod_rewrite in Apache? Or am I completely missing your
intentions?

Solution for static page with no "pages" in URL
I know this comes up a lot. I've always fixed this before (1.1) with a
core hack. I thought that as I moved my sites to 1.2 now I would come
up with a little better solution.
I'm not sure if this is the best solution but it works for me. I want
others thoughts and opinions for this solution.
THE BASICS:
Use a class within the routes config to pull all files from the "view/
pages" directory. Loop through this to account for directories and
such. Store these in array (do a little hygiene). Then, loop through
this array and create a custom route for each page.
It works for me, but I am still thinking there is a better way of
integrating this into cake. I'll provide the code I'm using on my dev
box below. Any suggestions are welcome
/Component that does all the work... (should this not be a
component?)
default_dir = '/users/jesseainskeep/sites/inskeep-
photography/app/views/pages/';
$this->pages = array();
$this->dirs = array();
$this->deleted_dirs = array();
//run through default directory
$this->getPagesFromDir($this->default_dir);
//funny way or writing this... this populates the pages array
and jumps through each directory it sees
$exit = true;
while ($exit){
//run through array...
foreach ($this->dirs as $key=>$value){
$value = $value . "/";
$this->getPagesFromDir($value);
$this->deleted_dirs[] = $value;
unset($this->dirs[$key]);
}
if (empty($this->dirs)){
$exit = false;
}
}
//kill the full path attached to each "page"
foreach ($this->pages as $key=>$value){
$this->pages[$key] = str_replace($this->default_dir, '',
$value);
}
}
function getPagesFromDir($sentDir){
$search = array('.ctp', '.thtml');
$replace = '';
if (is_dir($sentDir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($sentDir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (is_file($sentDir . $file)){
$file = str_replace($search, $replace, $file);
$this->pages[] = $sentDir . $file;
}elseif(is_dir($sentDir . $file) && $file != "." &&
$file != ".." ){
$this->dirs[] = $sentDir . $file;
}
}
closedir($dh);
}else{
echo "Cannot open sent 'dir'!";
}
}else{
echo "Sent 'dir' not available!";
}
}
function printAll(){
echo "Pages";
print_r($this->pages);
echo "";
echo "Directories";
print_r($this->dirs);
echo "";
echo "Deleted Directories";
print_r($this->deleted_dirs);
echo "";
}
}
?>
Code in routes file...
//read all files in pages directory and create custom route for each
one
include_once('/users/jesseainskeep/sites/inskeep-photography/app/
controllers/components/pages_routes_config.php');
$worker = new PagesRoutesConfigComponent();
foreach ($worker->pages as $page){
Router::connect($page, array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'display', ltrim($page, '/')));
}
As I said, this is my first stab and there will for sure need to be
revisions (dynamically pulling Cake path, auto loading component vs.
doing include, ect).
This works good on my machine, but I'm sure there are problems.
Suggestions welcome!
