Add a column to your table to hold the "slug", which will be the title string after it's been set to lowercase and all spaces converted to hyphens (or underscores). Then add SluggableBehavior to your model. See here: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/sluggable-behavior Set up a route: Router::connect( '/articles/:slug', array( 'controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'view' ), array( 'slug' => '[-a-z0-9]+', 'pass' => array('slug') ) ); Note that the URL begins with '/articles/'. It can be whatever string you want but if you leave it out (so that the URL begins with the slug), you'll have to create a route for every other controller action in your app or every request will be sent to ArticlesController. public function view($slug = null) { if (empty($slug)) { // redirect ... } $data = $this->Article->find( 'first', array( 'conditions' => array('Article.slug' => $slug) ) ); ... } Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
