You could try something like this:
routes.php
Router::connect('/:pseudo/:action/*', array('controller' =>
'generic'), array('pseudo' => '/^(news|eggs|bacon|spam)$/));
controllers/generic_controller.php
class GenericController extends AppController {
var uses = array();
function beforeFilter() {
// Get the pseudo-controller from the params
$this->pseudo = $this->params['named']['pseudo'];
// Set the various internal variables
$this->modelClass = Inflector::classify($this->pseudo);
$this->modelKey = Inflector::underscore($this->modelClass);
$this->viewPath = $this->pseudo;
// Load the model normally
$this->loadModel($this->modelClass);
}
function view($id) {
$this->set('data', $this->{$this->modelClass}->findById($id));
}
function edit($id = null) {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->{$this->modelClass}->create();
$this->{$this->modelClass}->id = $id;
if ($this->{$this->modelClass}->save($this->data)) {
// blablabla as normal
}
}
else {
$this->data = $this->{$this->modelClass}->findById($id);
}
}
}
So calling /news/edit/1 will be handled with generic_controller, with
its internal variables set to:
pseudo: news
modelClass: News
modelKey: news
viewPath: news [this is the subfolder where the view files are stored]
