Reusing /user/* for both IDs and custom labels is going to be a pain.
I'd recommend coming up with something different for the /user/ part
to more readily differentiate between the two structures. For example:
Router::connect('/person/:label', array('controller'=>'users',
'action'=>'bylabel'), array('label'=>'.*')); (or something like that)
function bylabel(){
$user = $this->User->findByLabel($this->params['label']);
[...other code here...]
}
That's a pretty rough idea.
