Hi, I need to do some special routing in cake, but can't for the life of me figure it out.

I have a shop controller at /shop, the format of the url will be:

/shop/:category/:sub_category/:product_slug

In the routing I need to send each part of the url to a different action, for example if the url was just /shop/cakes it would go to the category action of shop.

However if the url was /shop/cakes/macaroons or /shop/cakes/fairy it would go to the sub category action on the shop controller.

And the the same again for /shop/cakes/macaroons/pistachio would go to the product action on the shop controller.

How would I go about this in the routing? Something starting with

Router::connect('/shop/:category/:sub_category/:product_slug' ...

Or am I way off the mark? Thanks.
