If you have a route like:
Router::connect(
'/latest',
array(
'controller' => 'entities',
'action' => 'latest' // or whatever your method is
)
)
... you can do something like:
Router::connect(
'/latest/:type',
array(
'controller' => 'entities',
'action' => 'latest' // or whatever your method is
),
array(
'type' => '[\+\-_A-Za-z]+', // or whatever is appropriate
'pass' => array('type')
)
)
Change your method signature to, eg:
function latest($type = null)
{
If $type is not null, add it to your find conditions
