CakePHP: organise controllers in subfolders

Question

Is it possible in CakePHP to organise controllers (and models) in subfolders? Thanks.

Answer 1

It's not deprecated at all. You can accomplish this using the App:build and point to your subfolders. For example, if you want to put all of your Twitter models in Model/Twitter to keep your code organized, you can add the following to the bootstrap.php:

App::build(array(
    'Model' => array(APP . 'Model' . DS . 'Twitter' . DS),
));

Now, any model file you put in Model/Twitter will be available when you call it.

Answer 2

Yes you can, but it is deprecated. See the discussion here. The last post on this page describes how to do it in the bootstrap.
