This might be beside the point, and I can't think of a way to do it as
you've described without hard coding, but (and it's a big but),
why do you have hardcoded controllers for each game/team or game/
match? and given that you do why not hard code the route?
It would seem more logical (altough there's probably a good reason you
haven't mentioned) to have separate "teams" controller and "matches"
controller, and pass it the "game" as a param.
Then you could route:
Router::connect('/:game/teams', array('controller'=>'teams',
'action'=>'index'),array('game'=>'[a-z]+'));
Router::connect('/:game/matches', array('controller'=>'matches',
'action'=>'index'),array('game'=>'[a-z]+'));
and your controller could do something like
function index(){
switch($this->params['game']){
case "ping" :
// do ping thing
break;
case "catan":
// do catan thing
break;
...
default:
// no match to game
$this->redirect($somewhere);
}
}
