Question

I am using cakephp in one of my projects and my client wants the site URLs to end with .html and not the usual friendly urls. I was wondering if its possible in cakephp to do so through any of its routing techniques. Please help.

Answer 1

Had to solve this without using Routes. Kept the default route entry for pages:

Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display'));

and in the display action removed the .html extension and rendered the respective view:

preg_replace('/\.html$/','',$view);
$this->render(null,'default',$view);

While calling the pages added ‘ext’ to be .html
