[FIXED] Cannot call plugin Controllers in Cakephp

Issue

I have a plugin named as PanelAdmin. It has Controller UsersController.php and inside it there are different actions defined. I have called the default controller within the plugin through this code

$routes->connect('/PanelAdmin', ['plugin' => 'PanelAdmin','controller' => 'default','action' => 'index']);

but cannot call other controller if i hit this url:

http://localhost/multi_shopping/PanelAdmin/Users/

One thing more i want to clear is i have to define routes for all controllers actions in routes.php. Please solve my issue. Thanks

Solution

In your plugin routes.php make sure you are setting a fallback route.

routes.php

<?php
use Cake\Routing\Route\DashedRoute;
use Cake\Routing\RouteBuilder;
use Cake\Routing\Router;

Router::plugin(
    'PanelAdmin',
    ['path' => '/PanelAdmin'],
    function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
        $routes->fallbacks(DashedRoute::class);
    }
);

From the DashedRoute class:

/**
 * This route class will transparently inflect the controller, action and plugin
 * routing parameters, so that requesting `/my-plugin/my-controller/my-action`
 * is parsed as `['plugin' => 'MyPlugin', 'controller' => 'MyController', 'action' => 'myAction']`
