url haendling for a cms

[eluser]SitesByJoe[/eluser]
You could use your .htaccess file to add in the "pages", or set "pages" as your default controller. Somewhere you'll need to call the controller though.

I understand your point about having the "pages" in the url and at one point I felt the same way.

Consider thought that if part of the site is a blog, it would have a url like "../blog/index/...." or "blog/detail/2010..." etc.

For myself, I have the "pages" controller handling pages, "portfolio" handling the portfolio etc...

Does this make sense?

On the other hand, if all your doing is making pages (and nothing else) , add the "pages" after the "index.php" in your .htaccess file and set the pages controller as your default controller and use the "_remap" function to route everything through. Done. No "pages", just the url you want.
