Comments on: CakePHP: PagesController with Admin Routing

For cakephp 2.0 I adapted this article:

http://nuts-and-bolts-of-cakephp.com/2011/03/15/dealing-with-static-pages-v2-or-3/

for the admin static pages, in this way:

$staticAdminPages = array(
‘tools’
);

$staticAdminList = implode(‘|’, $staticAdminPages);

Router::connect(‘/admin/:static’, array(
‘plugin’ => false,
‘controller’ => ‘pages’,
‘action’ => ‘display’, ‘admin’ => true), array(
‘static’ => $staticAdminList,
‘pass’ => array(‘static’)
)
);

Obviously I wrote the admin_display function but I left these lines unchanged:

if (!empty($path[0])) {
$page = $path[0];
}

Now I am able to connect to this url:
http://server/site/admin/tools

Enjoy it!

At first: GREAT post – I was looking something like this Thank You !!!

I did like You described, but it doesn’t work for me. When I try to get access to foo/admin it asks me to log in – that’s ok. But when I give correct login and passord it still gives me information that I’m not authorised user, and shows me login screen again. But then I want to show foo/admin/users and type this address in web browser – page is shown correctly. No idea what can cause this behaviour.

Anny suggestions ?

Thanks,
Radek

No idea why the class code didnt show, i’ll try again without the php tags

require_once '../../cake/libs/controller/pages_controller.php';


class AdmPagesController extends PagesController {

	var $name = 'AdmPages';

public function admin_display(){ // parent::display(func_get_args()); $vArgs = func_get_args(); call_user_func_array(array('parent', 'display'), $vArgs); } }

Hi,
In an ideal scenario, you would not override the PagesController, or repeat the code by copying and pasting it. I solved this problem by adding this to routes.php:

Router::connect('/admin/adm_pages/*', array('controller' => 'adm_pages', 'action' => 'display', 'admin' => 1));

Then i created this class, adm_pages_controller.php:

and then added my view to app/views/adm_pages/help.ctp.

This way, if you need to update your cake version, as long as the file structure and display method prototype stays the same, it will work

Hi — I know this is completely unrelated to your post here, but your \LaTeX renderer on your “PhysiWiki” appears to have gone down. I’m a current third year about to sit the B1, B2, and B3 papers and I’ve found your site incredibly useful for them — please could you fix it!

A thank you from St. Hugh’s!

with cake 1.3 there is no more routing.admin
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1561/Migrating-from-CakePHP-1-2-to-1-3

you have to change the control in the beforeFilter function

$routing_prefixes = Configure::read(‘Routing.prefixes’);
if(in_array(“admin”, $routing_prefixes)){
$admin =’admin’;
}

Do you get any errors or anything? And did you have the beforeFilter in the AppController class given right at the start?

Hi. I was trying to make it work in cakephp 1.2, but it didn’t. I did exactly the example in a test app but no succeded.
I would like to make an admin home page with login in my app.

Thank you.
