php - CakePHP: Redirecting all 404 errors to the homepage?

Question

Is there a way or a function within a controller that tells if a 404 error was triggered? I would like everyone to redirect at the homepage instead of seeing a 404 page.

Thanks!

Answer 1

To catch and handle 404 errors, you need to extend the ErrorHandler class and override the error404 method. To do that, create the file app/app_error.php with the following code:

class AppError extends ErrorHandler {
    function error404($params) {
        // redirect to homepage
        $this->controller->redirect('/');
    }
}
