Re: Nested categories controller and routing

[Eric C Blount]

A really quick search of the group for "routing" came up with many examples, but all you need to do is put something like the following in your /app/config/routes.php:


$Route->connect('/articles/:param1', array('controller' => 'yourController', 'action' => 'yourAction'));
$Route->connect('/articles/:param1/:param2', array('controller' => 'yourController', 'action' => 'yourAction'));

Then you can access the data with $this->params['param1'] and $this->params['param2'].
