if you are going for slugs with the controller prefixed (/consulting/
some_slug_of_mine) and not application-global slugs (/
a_globally_unique_slug) then you don't really have to do anything to
the routing settings.
I have just gone from a controller with:
function view($id) {
$this->data = $this->Model->findById($id);
}
to:
function view($slug) {
$this->data = $this->Model->findBySlug($slug);
}
Those were just a liiitle abbreviated. As long as the slugs are kept
unique you can treat them like the id in finds.
