That makes sense because you're essentially bypassing Router.
Try this:
Router::connect(
'/:slug',
array(
'controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'view'
),
array(
'slug' => '[-a-z0-9]+',
'pass' => array('slug')
)
);
That should work, although it'll have to be the last route defined.
This assumes your slugs will be lowercase alphanumeric, plus hyphens.
The slug will be passed to the method as a param:
public function view($slug = null) { ... }
When you create the link, notice that you include the 'slug' option in
the same array as the controller & action (unlike in the route
definition).
echo $this->Html->link(
'foo',
array(
'controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'view',
'slug' => $slug
),
array('title' => 'foo')
);
