I have a problem to make my search urls more SEO Friendly and none of the solutions in stackoverflow worked for me, I tried everything.
Currently my search urls are like this :
https://www.example.com/search?s=Cars&location=London,UK&lat=0.0000&lng=0.0000
I want the url to look like this
https://www.example.com/find/Cars-London,UK/0.0000/0.0000
My Search class looks like this
class Search extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
check_installer();
$this->load->helper('url','form');
$this->load->model('Home_Model');
$this->load->model('Cars_Model');
$this->load->model('Search_Model');
$this->load->dbforge();
}
public function index(){
$this->load->view('config');
if($this->input->post() )
{
echo $this->load->view('search/tmpl/search_ajax','',true);
die();
}
$data['meta_setup'] = "search";
$this->load->view('search/search',$data);
}
In routes whatever I tried it didn't work. I'm open to any suggestion to make this url SEO friendly.
You need to go to your routing controller abd manually change your route to specific uri you want
here is a link to how to create a user friendly uri

I am working with CodeIgniter (V:2.2.6) and I have a simple class User with some basic methods like create, update, edit, delete and index. For the index function, I am using an argument $user (which is the second URI segment) in order to display some information regarding that user. So the default URL looks like:
/user/index/john
to display some information about the user 'john'.
Now, I want to remove the term 'index' from the URL, so that it looks like:
/user/john
For that purpose I have added the following rule in routes.php.
$route['user/(:any)'] = "user/index/$1";
It serves the purpose, but it prevents accessing other functions like /user/create and goes inside /user/index automatically. To solve this problem, I can not see any other way except manually adding routing rules like
$route['user/create'] = "user/create";
for each method of the User class, which is not cool at all. So, please can anyone suggest me a better way of routing under the current circumstances?
Here are my codes:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class User extends CI_Controller {
public function index($user = '') {
echo "index!";
}
public function create() {
echo 'create!';
}
}
Note: I have gone through the CodeIgniter documentation for URI Routing and another similar question here, but could not figure out a promising solution. And please don't suggest for CodeIgniter version update.
I'm not sure, if this is the answer you like, but i think it should work.
Just put this function in your user controller.
public function _remap($method)
{
if (method_exists($this, $method))
{
$this->$method();
}
else
{
$this->index($method);
}
}
I've altered routes.php
$route['category']='Home/category';
for making url look like www.website.com/category insteead of www.website.com/Home/category. Since Home is my default controller.
but if i am using $this->uri->segment(); inside category function, its not working. this is my controller
class Home extends CI_Controller {
public function category()
{
$value=$this->uri->segmet(3);
}
}
And my url is www.website.com/category/books
I am getting result if I dont alter routes. But by altering routes, I need this to work. Please help me. Thanks
You can debug what you have there by:
var_dump($this->uri->segment_array());
this will give you array of all segments in URI.
Also you can try to debug with this method:
var_dump($this->uri->rsegment_array());
this will give you array of all routed segments in URI
Respectivelly, you can use $this->uri->segment() or $this->uri->rsegment() what ever you find more appropriate for your application.
hello please check segment spelling in your code
class Home extends CI_Controller {
public function category()
{
$value=$this->uri->segmet(3); //wrong
$value=$this->uri->segment(3);
}
}
First of all you need to load URL library and than if your URL is:
www.website.com/category/books
And you want to get books from URL than segment should be:
$value=$this->uri->segment(2); //books
My URL libraries are in autoload. Anyway I solved it. I just configured my routes like this
$route['category/(:any)']='Home/category/$1'
As standard in Codeigniter
A Controller is simply a class file that is named in a way that can be associated with a URI.
And the Controller Class Name = File name but the first char is Capitalized
For example
The URL
example.com/index.php/blog/
The controller
<?php
class Blog extends CI_Controller {
public function index()
{
echo 'Hello World!';
}
}
?>
My need
In my application we require the URL seems like that
example.com/index.php/Non-ASCII-chars-String/
So How we gain that?
I think that if you want to fix this thing. You need to understand how CI work and especially router in CI.
I think this is the thing that you want: Routing in codeigniter doesn't work with non english characters
Sorry about my English.
I encounter problems when I call the method of a controller. By the way, this controller is routed.
Routes
$route['admin/company'] ='company';
Controller
class Company extends CI_controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
session_start();
/** Check if user is logged in */
if ($this->session->userdata('user') != "") {
$this->load->model('my_model');
if ( $this->uri->segment(1) != "admin" ) {
redirect('admin/company/'.$this->uri->segment(2));
}
} else redirect('/');
}
public function index() { Some coding here............ }
public function addnew() { Some coding here...........}
public function process() { Some coding here...... }
}
When I call "localhost/company", it works fine and redirects me to "localhost/admin/company which is great. But, when I try to call the method of it, it displays a 404 error message.
Example: When I go to link: localhost/admin/company/addnew
Did lack something in routes? or in controller? or anything else?
Thanks,
James
If appropriate for all use cases, use a simple catch-all rule in routes.php:
$route['admin/company/(.+)$'] = "company/$1";
You will have to add a route for each function in your controller.
$route['admin/company/addNew'] ='company/addNew';
$route['admin/company/process'] ='company/process';
It's very annoying. Better, create a folder "admin" inside your "controllers" folder. Put the controller on the folder. Thus you can access your controller with the URL "localhost/admin/company" and all the methods without rerouting.
If it doesn't work at first, create a controller inside "admin" folder with the same name you'll find in your routes file (default_controller).
create a admin directory and add $route["company"]="admin/company"
I need to use a subdomain as a class. ie, instead of:
www.example.com/class/function/ID eg www.example.com/town-name/history/1
I need
class.example.com/function/ID eg town-name.example.com/history/1
I've wildcarded the subdomain in nginx, now I've googled and read
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/uri.html
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/urls.html
http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html
but nothing relevant. I need it to be so that if another town is added to the db, it'll resolve that new town and its details.
I see many discussions about rewrites, redirects etc, but I specifically need to use the subdomain town name as the class variable. If possible, in an idea world, I could use both together, but I doubt that's possible?
I've had it going fine in plain old php for a couple of years now; now I want to upgrade to codeigniter without ruining my old structure if possible (plus there's a good reason for it).
Thanks you.
You can do it. I'm doing it for one of my projects.
In the constructor of your controller, just explode the current url and get the subdomain and pass it in your method as a variable
public class Controller extends CI_Controller {
$subdomain = null;
public __construct()
{
// explode url here and set $this->subdomain = the actual subdomain
}
public function index()
{
if($this->subdomain == null) {
show_404();
} else {
// do what you wish
}
}
}
