Re: CodeIgnigniter Config Question

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!!

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.

Hi,

I'm looking at CodeIgniter.  I would like to change the way it works a little bit. 

URL's will take on this pattern:



MyDomain.tld = is the index

MyDomain.tld/page-name (stand alone page)


MyDomain.tld/cat1/catn (one or more categories) (display the last category)

MyDomain.tld/cat1/catn/article-page  (one or more categories then an article page) (display article)


I would like to read the URL in a main controller.  There would only be one controller.  I would break the URL into its arguments and decide what Model and View to load and display.

Is it possible to configure CodeIgniter to function this way?



Thanks in advance!
