Re: Best approach for Pages

Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'index'));
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about'));
Router::connect('/info', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'info'));
Router::connect('/history', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'history'));
Router::connect('/contact', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'contact'));

That's for static files. Since these will be dynamic, you could create
a new method in pages_controller, eg.

Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'fetch', 'index'));
