Answer 2

@gaioshin WTF.. That is the worst thing I've seen with regards to custom routes.

Router::connect('message/inbox/:page', array('controller' => 'fj_messages', 'action' => 'index'), array('pass' => array('page')));

Something like that should do it just the way you want. Check out routing for more information.

The page will be in $this->params['page'] if I remember correctly.
