What you could do is have your router dynamically get the names of all
controllers and cache them for a certain period of time- then use that
cached lists in your routes... anything that wasn't a controller you
would route as a department. Something like this(not tested...
slightly modified from an implementation I used):
$controllerList = Cache::read('controllers_flatlist', 'default');
if ($controllerList === false) {
$controllers = Configure::listObjects('controller');
foreach($controllers as &$value) {
$value = Inflector::underscore($value);
}
$controlerList = $controllers;
array_push($controlerList, 'sitemap', 'robots', 'sitemap.xml',
'robots.txt');
$controllerList = implode('|', $controlerList);
Cache::write('controllers_flatlist', $controllerList);
Cache::write('controllers_list', $controllers);
}
if(empty($controllers)){
$controllers = Cache::read('controllers_list', 'default');
}
if (empty($controllers)) {
$controllers = Configure::listObjects('controller');
Cache::write('controllers_list', $controllers);
}
foreach($controllers as &$value) {
Router::connect('/:department/'. $value . '/*', array(
'controller' => $value
) , array(
'department' => '(?!' . $controllerList . ')[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+'
));
}
