Off the cuff (so I'm not even sure it parses):
Router::connect(
"/articles/:year/:month/:day/:slug",
array("controller" => "articles", "month" => null, "day" => null,
"slug" => null),
array('year' => $Year, 'month' => $Month, 'day' => $Day, 'slug' =>
"[A-Za-z0-9_\-]+")
);
Router::connect("/articles/:action", array("controller" =>
"articles"), array("action" => "list|controller|actions|here"));
Router::connect("/articles/:slug", array("controller" => "articles",
'action' => 'view'), array("slug" => "[A-Za-z0-9_\-]+"));
All the variables used are magic variables that are available in
config/routes.php. Also, passing null to keys in the second parameter
makes those parameters optional, so that first route takes care of all
your date / date + slug URLs.
