Where is the appropriate place to define inflector rules in CakePHP 1.3?


In CakePHP 1.2, custom inflector rules could be defined in a file app/config/inflections.php. This file was removed in CakePHP 1.3. Instead, the documentation prescribes using the Inflector::rules function to load custom inflections.

There's adequate documentation of how to define the custom inflections themselves, but the documentation gives no context—where to use Inflector::rules.

Should any custom inflections be defined in the bootstrap.php script? At the top of applicable corresponding controllers? Somewhere else?

Solution

  • The best place is at your bootstrap.php:

    Inflector::rules('transliteration', array('/à|á|å|â|ã/' => 'a'));
