Cakephp theme and images

votes

I have a weird problem in CakePHP.

I use a theme so I have a folder Themed/mytheme and in this case I have Themed/mytheme/webroot/img/

And my concern is that, in this file picture I have several images. Until now all my images are displayed in the url /theme/mytheme/img/myimage.png.

And this morning I created another image so I saved in this folder img and there problem. When I want to display my image I get the following error:

missing Controller
Error: ThemeController could not be found.

Error: Create the class below in ThemeController file: app \ Controller \ ThemeController.php

<? php
ThemeController class extends AppController {

}
Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app \ View \ Errors \ missing_controller.ctp

Stack Trace
APP \ webroot \ index.php line 92 → Dispatcher-> dispatch (CakeRequest, CakeResponse)

I error is not with the rest of the images is in the same folder.

Can you tell me or it could come from please?

Thank you.

P.S: Sorry for my English.

There's a typo in the url

Cake's default mod rewrite rules are:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

This means if the url does not match a directory and does not match a file - send the request to CakePHP. Since your request is being handled by CakePHP - the path you've requested is not the same as the file you've created.

Don't hardcode theme paths

To get an error like this, it seems quite likely to have code like this in view files:

echo $this->Html->image('/theme/ThemeName/img/foo.png');

That's not necessary and doing so will cause problems - like getting the path wrong, and requesting files that don't exist. Instead just use:

echo $this->Html->image('foo.png');

If the current request is for a theme - Cake will automatically use /theme/ThemeName/img/foo.png if it exists, and /img/foo.png if not.
