Re: CakePHP beginner with some starter questions

Hey,

your $content_for_layout is filled by your view, which is called via controller/action.

If you want your domain.tld/ to go to specific controller/action instead of /pages/display/home you need to create a routing rule (see book for this). The file is here: APP/core/routes.php

If you want to create a signup link application wide then you add it in a layout, otherwise you just add it into your view.

About default text issue: are you sure you have created /app/views/pages/home.ctp? Are you sure you didn't misspell file name and your path to home.ctp is correct?

Have a nice day,
Faifas

Hi,

I am new in cakePHP (for about two days now). I think I got a pretty
good understanding about the MVC concept. I saw the blog tutorial and
followed every step and also followed the same recipe expample. Now I
wanted to create my own application and before building all pieces of
it, I wanted to see how I can put them together in the end.

So I have a user management in my application. I know how I can create
CRUD for the users and call it via domain.tld/users/ but I want to
place a link on the start page for "Sign up".

I changed the defaul layout by creating a default.ctp in app/views/
layouts. On this page, cakePHP tells me "To change the content of this
page, create: APP/views/pages/home.ctp". I created that home.ctp but
nothing happens.

So what am I doing wrong to remove the default cakePHP text when just
calling domain.tld? So as far as I understood, I need somehow to fill
the $content_for_layout from my default.ctp.

Thanks for your help and sorry for being and absolute beginner. But I
will learn ;-)
