I want to implement custom routes in CakePHP. I am following the docs
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html#custom-route-classes
My custom route in app/Routing/Route
<?php
App::uses('CakeRoute', 'lib/Cake/Routing/Route');
class CategoryRoute extends CakeRoute
{
public function parse($url)
{
$params = parent::parse($url);
if (empty($params)) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
app/Config/routes.php
App::uses('CategoryRoute', 'Routing/Route');
Router::connect('/mypage/*', array('controller' => 'mycontroller', 'action' => 'view'), ['routeClass' => 'CategoryRoute']);
but I get
Missing Controller
Error: Controller could not be found.
Error: Create the class Controller below in file: app/Controller/Controller.php
When I remove ['routeClass' => 'CategoryRoute']
, rerouting just works fine.
Have a closer look at the API documenation: API > CakeRoute::parse()
The parse()
method is supposed to return an array of parsed parameters (ie $params
) on success, or false
on failure.
