[quote author="tonanbarbarian" date="1289302642"]the problem doing what you are trying to do is you are pretty much limiting yourself to a single method in the controller
but what you want to do should be possible if you use the _remap method in the controller

Actually, for anyone trying to do what I am here is the solution:

in routes.php just added

$route['^controller/page(:num)'] = 'controller/method/$1';

This will allow you to still have multiple methods and not always have controller/method/1
