Welcome to The Cookbook

It’s occasionally useful to be able to share MVC classes between applications on the same system. If you want the same controller in both applications, you can use CakePHP’s bootstrap.php to bring these additional classes into view.

In bootstrap.php, define some specially-named variables to make CakePHP aware of other places to look for MVC classes:

$viewPaths        = array();
$controllerPaths  = array();
$modelPaths       = array();
$helperPaths      = array();
$componentPaths   = array();
$behaviorPaths    = array();

1. $viewPaths = array();
2. $controllerPaths = array();
3. $modelPaths = array();
4. $helperPaths = array();
5. $componentPaths = array();
6. $behaviorPaths = array();

Each of these special variables can be set to an array of absolute filesystem paths where extra classes can be found when requested. Make sure that each path specified includes a trailing slash.
