Re: how can i route /size to /size.html

Mod Rewrite /size to 301 to size.html

No need to be hosting duplicate content.

+1 on that.

An example:

Move it from app/webroot/size.html to app/View/Pages/size.ctp

Add Router::connect('/size', array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'display', 'size')); to the routes.php

This would of course render this page inside your default layout, which might not be what your are trying to achieve.

A way around that is to add an action to the PagesController:

Move from app/webroot/size.html to app/View/Pages/size.ctp

Add Router::connect('/size', array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'size')); to the routes.php

In your PagesControler create a function:
public function size(){
$this->layout = 'empty';
}

create an empty layout:
//app/View/Layouts/empty.ctp
<?php echo $this->fetch('content'); ?>

(or divide your file into layout + content)

This way you avoid creating a new random controller to, basically, serve a single static page.

You should NOT be doing this. If you want to, then create a controller, and a view then you can use cakephp routes to route the way you want it to.

I just have a static html file which is app/webroot/size.html. I can access it by the url "/size.html".

But how can i route /size to /size.html?
