Is there a way to get rid of the word 'module/' from the URL in basic router
just as the RewriteRouter:
/admin/news/view
(instead of /news/view/module/admin)
After the code changes, you'll be able to do URLs like the following:
* RewriteRouter route of ':module/:controller/:action':
/admin/news/view
/user/news/view
* Basic router:
/news/view/module/admin
/news/view/module/user

I'm working on it today; I should have it into subversion in the next 12
hours (depends on my work schedule). I'll drop a note to the list when
it's available.

Much of this can actually be achieved now. You can specify classes in
subdirectories with the current MVC. As an example:
* Controller directory layout:
controllers/
Admin/
NewsController.php
User/
NewsController.php
* Then, to specify:
* Admin version of news controller: /admin-news/view
Calls AdminNewsController::viewAction()
* User version of news controller: /user-news/view
Calls UserNewsController::viewAction()
After the code changes, you'll be able to do URLs like the following:
* RewriteRouter route of ':module/:controller/:action':
/admin/news/view
/user/news/view
* Basic router:
/news/view/module/admin
/news/view/module/user
