// here is the declaration which in the original controller that i learn from the net.

$view_base_url = $this->webroot. 'calendars';

//this the original link that i using which cant point to my correct side.

$data[$day] .= 'a href="'.$view_base_url.'/view/'. $v['Calendar']['id'] . '">' . $v['Calendar']['name'] . '</a>'; 

in the details, i wanted to link to my side with just the calendars/view/id of the link i point. but with this code, i will redirect to the app/webroot/view/id side. can i change the $this->webroot to just link to where i want?? if i not using the $this->webroot, i am not able to redirect while i click other page in the calendar..

it might be a poor explanation, cause i am still new to cakephp. just any 1 can kindly drop me a comment what i can do?

You should use the Router class to create links to within your application. For example:

Router::url(array('controller' => 'my_controller', 'action' => 'view', $id));
// returns, for example, /my_controller/view/5

Router::url(array('controller' => 'my_controller', 'action' => 'view', $id), true);
// returns, for example, http://example.com/root_directory/my_controller/view/5

This method is used by many functions throughout Cake, for example by the HTML Helper:

echo $html->link('My Link', array('controller' => 'my_controller', 'action' => 'view', $id));
// echos:
<a href="/my_controller/view/5">My Link</a>

The URLs that Router returns are based on the routes defined in app/config/routes.php. This way you can define handy shortcuts:

Router::connect('/view/*', array('controller' => 'my_controller', 'action' => 'view'));

echo $html->link('My Link', array('controller' => 'my_controller', 'action' => 'view', $id));
// echos:
<a href="/view/5">My Link</a>

This is the way you should handle all links in your Cake application. You shouldn't make links in the Controller, only in the View, using the HTML Helper. In the rare case were you do need links in the Controller, use Router::url().
