This thread has my solution for those interested.

Hi Gremlin,
I'm surprised this topic is still open.
I would suggest:
1) get the passed args.
2) check if the last argument is an integer (if appropriate), if so the
last but 1 is the category to search on, else the last argument is the
category to search on.
3) for the category unbind all
this shouldn't be a problem. you just need to split the args in the
categories index () function. You then build you complexity in there,
perhaps limiting your depth to 4 /cat/subcat/subsubcat/id
The limit is absolutely not an option. I think perhaps a arg count on
the parameters could be
A really quick search of the group for routing came up with many examples, but all you need to do is put something like the following in your /app/config/routes.php:$Route-connect('/articles/:param1', array('controller' = 'yourController', 'action' = 'yourAction'));

figure out how I could set a controller to read category information
from an url that might have no parameters or 5 or 13 or any other
number.
The pages controller has these two methods in them:
if (!func_num_args()) {
hi
-routes are like Controller/Action/Param/Param
-the 'index' is the default action
Take your 'Categories' structure and name it articles, so that the route
will be domain.ext/
then use the index() method. feed it with you article name's and convert
them to id to do your article management.
I have thought of all of this before and none of these solutions quite
seems to solve my problem.
I need to be able to recover the id for the category entry in order to
reference various related models to generate the content.
The number of parameters in the url needs to be dynamic and must
If I create a model with a relationship to itself ie a nested
categories model with a belongs to and has many relationship I can
easily enough get a set of nested categories data.
The problem for me is that if I wish to reference the content related
to that category I must either reference it
