Problem with pagination links with routing

i need to route all /home/college, /home/school etc to thehome controller's index action, with the following prototype.

functi开发者_StackOverflow社区on index($type="school"){
...
}

below is my routing definition

Router::connect('/home/:type',array('controller'=>'home','action'=>'index'),array('pass'=>array('type'),'type'=>'(college)|(school)'));

i am also using pagination inside it. But when i generate the next and previous links it's like below

http://mysite.com/home/index/school/page:2

How can i remove the 'index' from the link?

I'm not sure if you will have much luck removing index as it is the default action.

However, I'm surprised your route works as mode is undefined.

Router::connect('/home/:type',
  array('controller'=>'home', 'action'=>'index'),
  array('pass'=>array('type'), 'type'=>'(college|school)'));

Check out CakePHP Routes Configuration.

Alternatively, you could just create a 'dummy' home action, and call index with it.

function home($type="school"){
    $this->setAction('index',$type);
}
