controller functions best practice

I don't really understand the underlying structure. Does each branch serve up a different page? If so, then what's wrong with having 12 methods (one for each branch)?

You may want to look into the [url="http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/controllers.html#remapping"]_remap()[/url] method or using [url="ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html"]routes[/url]. Perhaps that's what you're after?
