Hey All,

Just wandering if it is possible to do the following with routes or CI in general.

i have a site which has a list of members and i would like the member home page to be located at:

http://www.mysite.com/mattems

i thought the way would be to add a route $route[’:any’] = ‘member’;

this will not work because it will not load any of my other controllers.

Any ideas of how i could get this to work without breaking the normal workings of CI.

Cheers

Matt

Here’s a couple of options around that.

Use a pattern, such as:

http://www.mysite.com/-mattems-/

Then, you have a route, such as:

Or something like:

http://www.mysite.com/home-mattems/

Again, you have a pattern to match against.

Alternatively, you could create routes for each of your controllers, and then have a catch-all at the very end to route unrecognized uris (member names) to your desired controller/method. A bit more work, but that’ll ultimately depend on how big your site will be.

Also, look into the _remap function. It gets called instead of the method in your uri and lets you do some fancy routing in your controller.

Thanks alot for that i will take all of those options into account when we come to a solution. Thanks!!
