I seemed to resolve issue #1 in my last post (thanks again to ADmad
for prompting me to look through the nightly build's test cases for
this).
v1.2: Router::connect('/:subdirectory/:controller/:action/*', array(),
array('subdirectory' => '[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+'));
Now my URL's can be prefixed with anything that matches that regex and
the prefix will be available in the view as $this->params
['subdirectory']. If I form my $html->links as:
$html->link('Link Name', array('controller' => 'locations', 'action'
=> 'view', 'subdirectory' => $this->params['subdirectory']));
...then Cake will automatically keep the prefix in the generated URL.
Now I just need to figure out how to utilize my other "alias" routes
to fall inside this dynamic prefix routing (see my #2 above). I've
tried moving the "subdirectory" route to the top and bottom of the
routes list but had the same results with it.
