Question

I have some controllers I want to default to table and not index, as they present better in a different format than my index pages use. How can I change this?

Answer 1

Got it. For others:

The file /app/config/routes.php contains the routing configuration, and default action can be changed there. E.g.,

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

This will send a request to app/pages/ to the “display” action, not the usual “index.”
