If you have enabled admin routing in your app/config/core.php, with Configure::write('Routing.admin', 'admin'); you can use scaffolding to generate an admin interface.

Once you have enabled admin routing assign your admin prefix to the scaffolding variable.

var $scaffold = 'admin';

1. var $scaffold = 'admin';

You will now be able to access admin scaffolded actions:

http://example.com/admin/controller/index
http://example.com/admin/controller/view
http://example.com/admin/controller/edit
http://example.com/admin/controller/add
http://example.com/admin/controller/delete

1. http://example.com/admin/controller/index
2. http://example.com/admin/controller/view
3. http://example.com/admin/controller/edit
4. http://example.com/admin/controller/add
5. http://example.com/admin/controller/delete

This is an easy way to create a simple backend interface quickly. Keep in mind that you cannot have both admin and non-admin methods scaffolded at the same time. As with normal scaffolding you can override individual methods and replace them with your own.

function admin_view($id = null) {
  //custom code here
}

1. function admin_view($id = null) {
2. //custom code here
3. }

Once you have replaced a scaffolded action you will need to create a view file for the action as well.
