Re: Slug name limitations

But still... if a user chooses admin for slug, it would cause quite a bit of trouble...

My guess is the only way to avoid this is to either hardcode an array of reserved words and keep changing it as you add controllers-actions, or simply do what u mentioned in first post about querying the ACOS table... maybe that + reserverd words would be the best solution

Well, it all depends on the order of your Router rules in routes.php.
If you put the rule to interpret /admin as going to your admin area
BEFORE the rule to process those generic slugs, then you won't have a
problem. Generally, you want to put those catch-all router rules at or
near the end of routes.php, after any specific router rules.
