uri routing question

Yes, it can be done with routing.

URI routing is completed from top-down, so setup the routes for all of your hard-coded stuff (user/login, user/register, etc). Then setup a route for :any and direct it to whatever controller/method you want - something like friends/view would work. Use uri->segment(1) to determine if it's someone's username and process.

BTW: Remember not to let people register with the username of your controllers - otherwise they'll never be able to see their profiles.
