		<title>CakePHP: PagesController with Admin Routing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For small Cake websites with admin routing enabled, I like to use the Auth component to require a login for all admin routes, and allow access to everything else using the following beforeFilter in the AppController superclass:


function beforeFilter(){
    $admin = Configure::read(&#039;Routing.admin&#039;);
    if (isset($this-&#62;params[$admin]) and $this-&#62;params[$admin]){

		<description><![CDATA[As you may know, if it can&#8217;t find an index.html the apache web server will show a list of files in the current directory. I was browsing through lists of images on my file server the other day and I thought, wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to have a next button? So I started digging around.
