Jesse,
Are you wanting to access static pages without seeing the word "pages"
in the URL?
You could edit app/config/routes.php to have lines like this in it:
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about'));
Router::connect('/join', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'join'));
Then if someone accesses your site with http://yoursite/about they see
the page at app/views/pages/about.php
An access using http://yoursite/join would display the join page at
app/views/pages/join.php
Are you using mod_rewrite in Apache? Or am I completely missing your
intentions?
