使用CakePHP进行插件路由

Question

I have a plugin that needs to override the default route for /

The file I have attempting this is at APP/Plugin/Install/Config/routes.php

<?php
Router::connect('/', array('plugin' => 'install', 'controller' => 'installer', 'action' => 'index'));

Which does not work. I am also loading all plugins in my bootstrap. CakePlugin::loadAll();

Am I missing something?

[UPDATE. This file needs to override the main routes.php file in APP/Config/routes.php. Obviously updating the main routes file works and shows the right page, but I am trying to override this file and not modify it directly.]

Answer 1

I haven't tried overriding the default route for a plugin - I have for plain controllers - but I think you'll need 'plugin'=>'install' or somesuch in your array.

Edit: This bit about plugins in the manual might apply, I think your loadAll should look something like this:

CakePlugin::loadAll(array(
    'Install' => array('routes' => true)
));
