Re: Routing to 2 controllers?

Thanks for clarifying regarding routes.

Could you clarify what you mean "It be a simple `if` statement that calls one of two of the controllers `private` or `protected` methods which contain the login for wether the username is "Bob" or "BobsShop".

I have a UsersController and a ShopsController, the former handles the "Bob" username while the latter handles "BobsShop" username. So if i route the /:username url to my UsersController, how should I handle the logic for the "BobsShop" username?

Thanks

For example, if I have 2 usernames Bob and BobsShop, I want localhost/Bob to route to my UsersController while localhost/BobsShop will route to my ShopsController. I've thought of one way to accomplish this - by writing a common ObjectsController that represents both a User and a Shop. Is there an easier way via cake's routing mechanism? Thanks!

Or another way to put it is URL to logic to perform. I would suggest if you have a route like `/:username` it would route to a sigle controller action which then decided which logic to perform. It be a simple `if` statement that calls one of two of the controllers `private` or `protected` methods which contain the login for wether the username is "Bob" or "BobsShop".
