cakePHP prevent user enter URL

Question

I use router

Router::connect(
    '/articles/:id/:slug',
    array('controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'view'),
    array(
        'pass' => array('id', 'slug'),
        'id' => '[0-9]+'
    )
);

BUT how to prevent user enter /articles/view/:id .I can make page /articles/view/:id become " NOT FOUND " ?

Answer 1

Router::connect(
    '/articles/view/:id',
    array('controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'index'),
);

Answer 2

you are passing the slug, so just check that $this->params['slug'] isset and if it is not, redirect them to the home page.
