Hi. I want to route a url to 2 controllers depending on some logic I define. For example, if I have 2 usernames Bob and BobsShop, I want localhost/Bob to route to my UsersController while localhost/BobsShop will route to my ShopsController. I've thought of one way to accomplish this - by writing a common ObjectsController that represents both a User and a Shop. Is there an easier way via cake's routing mechanism? Thanks!
It seems like you might be confused as to what is a route and what is a controller and what is a model. A route shouldn't contain any logic, it's just the mapping of URL to Controller action. Or another way to put it is URL to logic to perform. I would suggest if you have a route like `/:username` it would route to a sigle controller action which then decided which logic to perform. It be a simple `if` statement that calls one of two of the controllers `private` or `protected` methods which contain the login for wether the username is "Bob" or "BobsShop". -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
