How to Setup the Home Page on your CakePHP Application
Been playing a lot with CakePHP and I have been having fun.
After playing around my simple application, setting up controllers, views, models, authentication and lots of other stuff. I wondered, how to I ever change the home page content?
CodeIgniter allows you to change the default controller in the routes.php file. Kohana works similar.
However, CakePHP was a different beast. I never knew how to set this up and got up and researched. I found two good tutorials.
I ended up following the second one. Here's how I set it up.
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'blog', 'action' => 'index'));
I changed the controller index value, the action index value. Of course, it's absolutely necessary to have a method and a view corresponding to the controller and action or you'll get an error but it won't be hard to figure out.
