Setup a route like this:
Router::connect('/categories/*', array('controller' => 'categories',
'action' => 'index'));
Then in your index() method of CategoriesController you can then check for
the additional params in $this->params...
This is not so dissimilar how Cake's PagesController works.
I do something like this, however I store the entire path (eg "slug1/slug2")
in the database, since you might have duplicate identifiers like so:
/categories/sony/video-cameras/
/categories/philips/video-cameras/
Cheers,
Adam
