I'm working on CakePHP 3.3
I have some dashboard controllers which are named like
DashboardUsersController.php,
DashboardBusinessesController.php,
DashboardCustomersController.php,
etc
I want to map urls like
http://example.com/dashboard/users/view/param1/param2
And this will call DashboardUsersController.php class and view function with param1 and param2 as parameters.
In short I want to change url http://example.com/dashboard-users/view/param to http://example.com/dashboard/users/view/param
this type of mapping will be done only if dashboard is present after domain, otherwise it will work as default like on accessing http://example.com/users/view/param1 will call UsersController.php
What I have done till now?
Since, I'm new to CakePHP and routing, I have no idea where to start from and therefore have done nothing till now. I need your help.
I think what you needed is prefix. Bake your controller model with prefix dashboard .
Use this in you routes.php
use Cake\Routing\Route\DashedRoute;
Router::prefix('dashboard', function ($routes) {
// All routes here will be prefixed with `/dashboard
$routes->fallbacks(DashedRoute::class);
});
And remove that dashboard part from controllers or remove dashboard from your table name and rebake everything with --prefix .
bin/cake bake all --prefix dashboard
