Hi,
There are two way to handle this.
Add these lines above your other users routing rules. If you put it below your
other rules, then the router will think "login" is a username. This is not an
advisable approach since you can no longer have users with the names "login" or
"logout", and every time you need to add a new action to the UsersController
you'll have to add another rules.
Router::connect('/users/login',array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'login'));
Router::connect('/users/logout',array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'logout'));
You can get around this with the second approach by not using the prefix of
users for non-user related actions.
Router::connect('/members/:action',array('controller'=>'users'));
Now your logins can be handled by http://example.com/members/logout and
http://example.com/members/login
You can also just keep it real simple http://example.com/login would be
Router::connect('/login',array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'login'));

Subject: Re: URL routing
Great, that helped a lot. A follow up issue I am having is what is
the correct way to handle such things as login / logout functions in
the user controller so that when I go to http://example.com/users/logout,
it doesn't query the database and it performs the logout functions.
Thanks again for your help before
