Thanks, Nate. That works. I'd actually gotten it to work with:
Router::connect('/ASK',
array(
'controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'display',
'ask/index'
)
);
... and this in my PagesController:
public function display($path = null)
{
$args = func_get_args();
$path = !is_null($args) ? $args : explode('/', $path);
$count = count($path);
if (!$count) $this->redirect('/');
...
This works, though links created with either of those routes still give me:
/pages/ask/index
I guess I can live with that. Thanks again.
