Re: what's wrong with my route?

I don't usually care about routes for my admin controllers since no
one except administrators see them, so if it was me I wouldn't worry
about it.

However you could probably simplify your routes:

Router::connect('/admin/islandnews/:action/*', array('controller' =>
'newsletters', 'admin' => true));

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Adam
