Re: Routing to 2 controllers?
I think that is the answer I am looking for. I just need to re-arrange my methods then. Thanks for clarifying. On Sun, Dec 21, 2014 at 7:38 PM, Andrew Lechowicz wrote: > Ok.

Re: Routing to 2 controllers?
Ok. Here's a Gist of what your code might look like: https://gist.github.com/alecho/e7b573cc54140ba1706d By making the methods private it means that CakePHP won't let them be publicly callable methods. This avoids redirects so that your url is still the same too. I think this approach is easier to test as well. This assumes that you can't just use regular expressions on the username to route to different controllers or actions. In other words, your username has nothing to do with wether your user is a "user" or a "shop". You may also want to look into ensuring usernames are valid in the router with a custom route class but this is not required.

Re: Routing to 2 controllers?
Thanks for the replies. I guess my question is still unclear, and yes, I am
using Auth. What I am trying to do is implement a URL similar to facebook.
For example, I want to have
www.xyz.com/Bob/{actions} (routes to UserController)
www.xyz.com/BobsStore/{actions} (routes to ShopsController).
I could route all the usernames to my UsersController and then use an IF to
redirect to the appropriate controller, but then I would lose the "
www.xyz.com/Username/action" url syntax, right? Maybe using requestAction?
I did find an old cake thread regarding what I want to achieve. But this is
probably not recommended to do. I am not sure if there is a more elegant
way...
http://cakephp.1045679.n5.nabble.com/One-slug-route-connected-to-multiple-controllers-td5710815.html
Thanks again for any help.

Re: Routing to 2 controllers?
Hi Can I assume that you have implemented authentication in your CakePHP application using the Auth component? See the CakePHP book here about Authentication: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/components/authentication.html Take specially a look at the section "Identifying users and logging them in" which contains a code example of the login method for your usage. As Andrew wrote, it should then be simple for you to implement an IF statement (or other) and redirect the user to the correct URL of your appilcation.

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 > On Dec 20, 2014, at 9:09 PM, Andrew Lechowicz > wrote: > > Hi.
