用于管理员的Cakephp自定义文件夹结构

Question

Since my app is getting bigger i would like to separate admin prefix actions and views from normal actions and views. The new folder for admin is Controller/admin/UsersController.php.

I would like to change my cakephp controllers and views folder structure to match the prefix I'm using.

Example for admin prefix:

Controller:

app/Controller/UsersController.php (contain view(), index() ...)  
app/Controller/admin/UsersController.php  (contain admin_view(), admin_index() ...)  

View:

app/View/Users/index.ctp (for index() in UsersController.php)  
app/View/Users/admin/index.ctp  (for admin_index() in admin/UsersController.php)  

How can I implement this structure using Cakephp 2.6?

Answer 1

Unlike in 3.x where this is the default behavior for prefixes, this isn't supported in 2.x.

You could try hacking it in using a custom/extended dispatcher (in order to retrieve the desired controller) or even dispatcher filters in case you are adventurous, and in your app controller modify the view template path with respect to the prefix.

That should do it, however I would probably simply go for using plugins instead, this will separate things just fine without any additional fiddling.
