Getting url data to show in the url bar - laravel-4

Question

I'm using Laravel 4 and I'm trying to get the url bar to display the text url that is saved in the database instead of using the id.
This is my routes.php
Route::get('/{id}', function($id = 1){
if(is_numeric($id))
{
$page = Menu::find($id);
$action = 'content';
return App::make('HomeController')->$action($id);
} else {
$column = 'url';
$url = Seo::where($column, '=', $id)->get();
$action = 'show';
return App::make('HomeController')->$action($url[0]->id);
}
});
I'm also using a pivot table to link the menu to the seo.
Seo model
<?php
class Seo extends \Eloquent {
protected $fillable = array('url', 'meta_title', 'meta_description', 'keywords');
protected $guarded = array('id');
protected $table = 'seo';
public static $rules = array(
'title' => '',
'content' => '',
'image' => ''
);
public function menu(){
return $this->belongsToMany('Menu', 'menu_seo', 'seo_id', 'menu_id');
}
}
Menu model
<?php
class Menu extends \Eloquent {
protected $fillable = array('title', 'menu_id', 'image');
protected $guarded = array('id');
protected $table = 'menus';
public static $rules = array(
);
public function seo(){
return $this->belongsToMany('Seo', 'menu_seo', 'menu_id', 'seo_id');
}
}
HomeController
public function content($id)
{
$menus_child = Menu::where('menu_id', 0)->with('menusP')->get();
$menu = Menu::where('id', $id)->firstOrFail();
//dd($menu->frames);
return View::make('index', compact('menus_child'))->with('menu', $menu);
}
and then I call my views that references the menu like this
#foreach($menu->banner as $banners)
{{ $banners->title }}
#endforeach

I'm still not sure how you want to retrieve the correct URL associated to an id but that shouldn't really matter. The basic principle is just to fetch the URL and make a redirect:
Route::get('/{id}', function($id = 1){
if(is_numeric($id))
{
$page = Menu::find($id);
$url = 'foo'; // get correct URL somehow
return Redirect::to($url);
} else {
// ...
}
});
