Re: Routing /group/person/post instead of /post/id

Well the link provided should offer enough information.

One thing you could do is (out of the top of my head):

Router::connect('/:group', array('controller' => 'groups', 'action' =>
'view'));
Router::connect('/:group/:user', array('controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'view'));
Router::connect('/:group/:user/:post', array('controller' => 'post',
'action' => 'view'));

Check $this->params in your controller for the variables 'group',
'user' and 'post' and use them in combination with a find('first')
call. Note that this solution will catch the urls for other
controllers. Eg you can't access your 'help' controller with '/help'
unless you explicitly define a route for that. One way around this is
to add a constant at the beginning of your routes

Router::connect('/view/:group')
etc

But there are also many other routing solutions. Such as:

Router::connect('/:group/:user/:post', array('controller' =>
'controller-that-handles-all-levels', 'user' => null, 'post' =>
null));

or even:

Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'controller1'));

-> define in Controller1Controller: public function index($group =
null, $user = null, $post = null)

So basically what you want is possible and there are lots of
possibilities.
