Re: Need help from a routing "expert"

You don't even need a route...

Router::connect('/threads/*', array('controller' => 'threads',
'action' => 'index'));

This by default will become /threads/ without the route.

So remove the route and just pass this:

<?php echo $html->link('Title', array('controller' => 'threads',
$id)); ?>

Which will become: /threads/123

Which in turn can be used in the controller:

public function index($id) {
}
