Your solution is very elegant, just what I was looking for... but after testing it, there is a major problem:

using a header(location: "controller/method") redirect will not work in the _remap() function because "controller/method" will reroute to "home" controller again! This will carry on in an infinite loop. I have illustrated the problem based on workflow.

Workflow for your method:

1. Main URI request is sent ... www.mysite.com/username/controller/method
2. Router reroutes request to home controller
3. Home controller fetches username, does work, and redirects to "any other URI"
4. URI is picked up by router; sends to home controller!


Workflow for my method:

1. Main URI request is sent ... www.mysite.com/username/controller/method
2. Pre_system hook is triggered and calls function get_user_db()
3. get_user_db fetches username from URI, does work, and then completes.
4. Main URI is picked up by router where username is dismissed and routes to appropriate controller/method (fetched from URI)

I would love to use your method as its so much cleaner, but it seems that these steps need to be executed in a specific order.

Thanks for your help. Any thoughts on improving your method? If there is a way to call a controller from within a controller, that might work, else we are stuck.

Please do tell how more than one can controller can be used from within another controller!?
