Change admin layout in CakePHP

Question

I am working in cakephp, and I have the following two lines in my /app/config/routes.php file:

/**
 * ...and setup admin routing
 */
 Router::connect(\'/admin/:c         


        

Answer 1

the approaches above are good but if you are looking to change the layout for every page when logged in you might try the following using Auth Component

function beforeFilter() {
    if ($this->Auth->user()) {
        $this->layout = 'admin';
    }
}
