Re: Trouble with the Router
Here are the routes that got it working: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1621988238 Crucial to it working was me sending an empty string (instead of null) as the "action" parameter to Router::url Tip of the hat goes to PhpNut for the help. And the money, as he requested, goes to the Cake Software Foundation.

If there are any frameworks that behave exactly the way you need, I'd love to see how they are doing it. The default action for any controller is 'index', unless you configure it otherwise. It's a convention of the system. If you set it to 'null', it's going to fall back to the rules of the system itself, which says 'index' is the action and it will happily return the URL with 'index' or whatever else is the default action in it. When you ask it to give you the URL that represents the default action for a controller, well, it's going to tell you whatever the convention is or whatever you've told it you want it to be. Don't want URL's with 'index' in them? Then you can't ask CakePHP to generate the URL for you. You'll have to do them by hand. If I am wrong, I'm sure others are rubbing their hands in glee at a chance to point out the mistakes of the Grumpy Old Man of the List. -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Trouble with the Router
Here are some relevant CakeBin pastes:

http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1098672765
When I uncomment the pr($url), I get this:

Re: Trouble with the Router
I extensively use Router::url in my application. I'd hope I could use
some sort of regular expression or option in the usage of Router::url
without afterwards modifying what Router::url returns.
$5 to anyone who can help me with this problem :-)
