Question

I have a link that goes like this:

$this->Html->link('Welcome', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'add'));

I suspect it doesn’t work (Firefox says the redirect will never complete), so I did this:

$this->Html->link('Welcome', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'add', 'my'=>false));

‘my’ is a prefix. I also have ‘admin’, ‘ajax’, and ‘rss’. So now instead of pointing to /users/add or /my/users/add, the link points to /rss/users/add. The link is in a header, in a layout so I don’t know which prefix it will be invoked from. I want to go to /users/add, that is, leave all prefixes altogether. How do I do that in CakePHP? I’m using 1.3 version.

Answer 1

Get the prefix from $this->params, like this:

$this->Html->link('Welcome',
  array('controller' => 'users',
        'action' => 'add',
        $this->params['prefix'] => false));
