Have a look at router.example.py; there's also some explanatory material in the
book. If that's not clear, I can help you create a router.
I use the model-based scheme myself for some purposes, and it's fairly simple.
If you want all three of your controllers, you'd want to do something like:
if request.controller in ('profile', 'default', 'appadmin', 'group', 'event'):
handle the known controllers
elif request.function == 'index': # if the incoming URL had no
'function', and web2py filled in the default function
request.args[0] = request.controller
request.controller = 'group'
else
request.args[0] = request.controller
request.args[1] = request.function
request.controller = 'event'
