Hi Sam No I don't try to get mysite.com/admin for specific controller's action. I try to get mysite.com/admin as an independent page to act as a home page or a dashboard for the rest of admin routes. In other word, I try to make this page to have some links to some admin actions of controllers beside some administrative data, such as, unapproved comments, number of registered users and so on.
