That did the job!!  Thanks : $route['(:any)'] = "main"; My Approach is very simple.  There is three types of data.  1) Home page, 2) category pages, and 3) content pages. So all I need to do is read the URL and determine which it is and pull that content and populate the template. I will probably add one more layer of functionality.  That would be to check if there is a template specifically for that particular content.  Pretty simple approach. Thank you for your help!! ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Sun, 2/19/12, Eric Cope wrote: From: Eric Cope Subject: Re: CodeIgnigniter Config Question To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Sunday, February 19, 2012, 11:19 PM Hey Keith, You can address this multiple ways. One way is mod_rewrite. Obviously this is outside of CodeIgniter. Another way is to define custom Routes (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/routing.html).  I personally recommend against one monolithic controller. I've found that if your controller is more than about a page of code, its failing DRY principles, difficult to refactor, difficult to test, etc. This is not always the case, but a decent generalization. Then again, if you can leverage models, libraries, and views, and still only have about a page of controller code, then go for it.

Is it possible to configure CodeIgniter to function this way?
