Hi

I'm on CakePHP 2.2.x and I've built all my site links in the format...

$this->Html->link( 'Contact', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'contact'));

…which generates URLs like http://www.example.com/pages/contact and
everything works. ie: /pages/contact shows my contact page.

I've then added the line…

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

…as the last rule in my routes file and so now I can use a URL like
http://www.example.com/contact (without the /pages bit) and still get my
contact page. All great so far.

What I would like to do now is somehow set my links to generate the
shortened URLs so $this->Html->link( 'Contact', array('controller' =>
'pages', 'action' => 'contact')); generates a URL
http://www.example.com/contact rather than
http://www.example.com/pages/contact

Is this possible? I'm struggling to find a way to do it. If it is can
someone point me to an example?

Use as following-

In routes.php

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

or

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

and generate link as

One way

$this->Html->link( 'Contact', array('controller' => 'contact'));

Other way

<a href="<?php echo $this->Html->url('/contact'); ?>">Contact</a>
