RE: Best approach for Pages

No, I need these pages to be dynamic. There was an article on using /
making your own page controller

http://paulherron.net/articles/view/managing_simple_pages_in_cakephp

But I cant seem to get it to work.

I do not want to hard code about / history so on since the site owner may
add new pages as the site grows. They may add a new "page" called "bio" for
example then site/bio will pull bio page using the pages controller.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display',
'index')); Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'display', 'about')); Router::connect('/info', array('controller' =>
'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'info')); Router::connect('/history',
array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'history'));
Router::connect('/contact', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'contact'));

That's for static files. Since these will be dynamic, you could create a new
method in pages_controller, eg.

Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'fetch',
'index'));
