how to route properly url with segments in codeigniter.
this is my url .
https://www.test.com/region/india/about/people/gaurav-Singh/1
this is in my route
$route['region/india/about/people/(:any)/(:any)'] = "region/india/memberview/$1/$2";
this is my controller
public function memberview()
{
$teamid = $this->uri->segment(5);
$data['view'] = 'region/india/team-member-view.php';
$this->load->model('region/India_model');
$data['team'] = $this->India_model->tmview($teamid);
$this->load->view('region/layout', $data);
}
this is my model
public function tmview($teamid){
$this->db->query("select * from ojiteam");
$this->db->where('id',$teamid);
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result_array();
}
in my view i am showing data with
<?php echo $team['tmname'];?>
but its not working, it is showing 500 error.
help me with this issue. i have searched and went through codeigniter but not able to solve this.
Depending on the environment you are working on (see docs) you can debug to figure out what is causing this 500 error. Usually this means somehting is wrong with your code, you will have to debug to find out what file and line this error is generated from.
To use numbers in your routing you should do (:num), this way only numbers are allowed on that part of your routing (see docs).
On the controller part, you can pass variables to your controller from your routing options, so;
$route['region/india/about/people/(:any)/(:any)'] = "region/india/memberview/$1/$2";
public function memberview( $area, $teamid )
{
// Your coding
// $area now is; gaurav-Singh
// $teamid now is; 1
}
This way you don't have to worry about which part of the URL you need to use because it's all set.

I'm using Codeigniter. Basically what I want is to remove the Controller name (Home) from the url.
Those urls look like:
http://localhost/mechanicly/Home
http://localhost/mechanicly/Home/about
http://localhost/mechanicly/Home/contactus
now there are two ways I can remove the Home controller:
static definition of every url inside route:
$route['about'] = "Home/about";
$route['contactus'] = "Home/contactus";
I can use call backs in routes in Codeigniter:
$route['(.+)'] = function ( $param ) {
if( strpos( $param, "Admin" ) !== false ) {
echo $param;
return "Admin/".$param;
}
else{
echo $param;
return "Home/".$param;
}
};
this logic is much better as it is generic and I don't have to create new routes every time for new method inside the controller.
It is working fine for the client controller which is Home but I have another controller named as Admin and I want to redirect Admin requests to the Admin controller and Home request to the Home Controller.
Why does above code work fine for the Home controller but returns
not found
when I validate for the Admin controller?
I am using CI version 3.x
If you really want to get crazy, you could parse the methods from the controller file and programatically create the "static" approach.
Pseudo code here
$controller_file_contents = file_get_contents('path/to/controller.php');
$controller_methods = function_that_parses_methods_from_file($controller_file_contents);
foreach ($controller_methods as $controller_method) {
$route[$controller_method] = "Home/" . $controller_method;
}
How function_that_parses_methods_from_file works is probably gonna involve a regex, something like function \w+. If you go with this approach, try to keep the controller as small as possible by offloading as much logic as possible into models, which is often a good idea anyways. That way the performance impact in the router is as small as possible.
Alternatively, you may be able to parse the controller using get_class_methods if you can figure out how to load the controller into memory inside the router without conflicting when you need to load the controller using the router or causing too much performance issues.
Pretty goofy, but every method you create in that controller will automatically create a route.
you can create your menu(url´s) from db like
tbl_menu tbl_level
---------- -------------
id id
fk_level level
name dateUP
dateUP active
active
In your controllers you need to call the correct menu by session or wherever you want
then you can has this in your route.php
$route['(.+)'] = 'int_rout/routing/' . json_encode($1);
in your controller Int_rout.php
public function routing ( $param ) {
$routing = json_decode($param);
$routing = explode('/', $routing);
//$menu -> get menu from model
foreach($menu as $item){
if($routing[0] === $item->name){
//$level -> get level from model
$redirect = $level->level;
}
}
//the final redirect will be like
//admin/user or admin/user/12
//public/us
$params = ( empty($routing[1])) ? '' : '/' . $routing[1];
redirect($redirect . '/' . $routing[0] . $params, 'refresh');
}
I have a guitar lessons site where there is an exercises table. The original developers placed some functions in ExercisePresenter to retrieve other bits of data associated with an exercise, such as its url.
Here is a function in ExercisePresenter that returns url for an exercise:
public function url()
{
return '/guitar-lesson-ex/' . $this->urlName() . '/' . $this->id;
}
So now I am creating an event on new exercise created so I can use pusher notifications. In the EventServiceProvider I have this:
public function boot(DispatcherContract $events)
{
parent::boot($events);
Exercise::created(function ($exercise) {
// need to update lesson difficulty
$lesid = $exercise->lesson_id;
$les = \App\Lesson::find($lesid);
$dif = $les->difficulty();
DB::table('lessons')
->where('id', $lesid)
->update(['difficulty' => $dif]);
// lets trigger NewExerciseEvent to send pusher notifications
$url = $exercise->url;
event(new NewExerciseEvent($message));
});
}
I thought in above code $url = $exercise->url; would work since I see $exercise->url used successfully in exercise views. But it is returning $url as null. Now, there is no url column in the exercise database, so I figure somehow when $exercise->url; is used in a view, laravel is figuring out that the ExercisePresenter is able to return the url.
I am debugging through PHPStorm, but when I get to $url = $exercise->url; and step in, I am just taken through various bits of laravel code that looks for a method, etc. I am not savvy enough with laravel to figure out what it is doing here differently than in the view (too bad we can't debug views...), but each time I try this $url is returned as null.
Any idea how to get this to work properly in my EventServiceProvider?
Thanks!
Figured it out:
$url = $exercise->present()->url;
I had been searching for how to use presenters but having just read (Laravel View Presenters From Scratch), everything is clear!
Sorry for posting prematurely.
I want to grab some data from a database and display on a layout page, I've basically started building a small CMS to get into Laravel and all has gone fine so far but now i'm at a wall, and can't find a solution.
I have a layout blade file like so: http://paste.laravel.com/1fB1 nothing majot but you will see i have used $page->meta_title etc in there and in my controller i have:
public function home()
{
$pages = Pages::all();
return View::make('frontend/home')->with('pages',$pages);
}
Which I have a pages model doing nothing else really like so:
class Pages extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'pages';
}
So why is it trying to get property of non-object and I don't really want to use a foreach because this is going to be the frontend of my 'test' website so a foreach wouldn't suite.
You'll need to access these items as a multi-dimensional array if you don't want to loop through them.
$pages[0]['field_name_here']
or
$pages[1]['field_name_here']
Its a bit of a tough one to answer without knowing how you want your CMS to work.
For example, you could have a route as {pagename} in your routes.php file, then have a page controller where you would get the requested route from the variable passed in. This would then load the page you wanted using the variable
public function page( $pagename ) {
$page = Page::where('page_title', '=', $pagename)->first();
View::make('frontend/page', array( 'page' => $page ));
}
Using a route like that, and the controller, in your view you could use {{ $page->content }} to get the content of the requested page from the database and display it.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Example Route:
Route::get('{pagename}', 'PageController#page');
I have a base controller (base) which all other controllers extend from.
Anything placed here will override other controllers, the redirects will be here.
URLs example:
http://domain.com/controllerone/function
http://domain.com/controllertwo/function
http://domain.com/controllerthree/function
Using the code below. will give me the controller name
$this->uri->segment(1);
Each of the above controllers need to be redirected to separate URLs, but the funcation part should not change:
http://domain.com/newcontrollerone/function
http://domain.com/newcontrollertwo/function
http://domain.com/newcontrollerthree/function
In my base controller i want the following logic:
$controller_name = $this->uri->segment(1);
if($controller_name === 'controllerone'){
// replace the controller name with new one and redirect, how ?
}else if($controller_name === 'controllertwo'){
// replace the controller name with new one and redirect, how ?
}else{
// continue as normal
}
i was thinking i should use redirect() function and str_replace(), but dont know how efficient these would be. Ideally i do not want to use the Routing class.
thanks.
try
header("Location:".base_url("newcontroller/".$this->uri->segment(2)));
Simple Solution using segment_array:
$segs = $this->uri->segment_array();
if($segs[1] === 'controllerone'){
$segs[1] = "newcontroller";
redirect($segs);
}else if($segs[1] === 'controllertwo'){
$segs[1] = "newcontroller2";
redirect($segs);
}else{
// continue as normal
}
CodeIgniter's URI Routing, should be able to help in this case. However, if you have a good reason not to use it, then this solution may help.
The potential redirects are in an array, where the key is the controller name being looked for in the URL and the value is the name of the controller to redirect to. This may not be the most efficient but I think it should be easier to manage and read than a potentially very long if-then-else statement.
//Get the controller name from the URL
$controller_name = $this->uri->segment(1);
//Alternative: $controller_name = $this->router->fetch_class();
//List of redirects
$redirects = array(
"controllerone" => "newcontrollerone",
"controllertwo" => "newcontrollertwo",
//...add more redirects here
);
//If a redirect exists for the controller
if (array_key_exists($controller_name, $redirects))
{
//Controller to redirect to
$redirect_controller = $redirects[$controller_name];
//Create string to pass to redirect
$redirect_segments = '/'
. $redirect_controller
. substr($this->uri->uri_string(), strlen($controller_name)); //Function, parameters etc. to append (removes the original controller name)
redirect($redirect_segments, 'refresh');
}
else
{
//Do what you want...
}
I would like to create a custom CMS within Codeigniter, and I need a mechanism to route general pages to a default controller - for instance:
mydomain.com/about
mydomain.com/services/maintenance
These would be routed through my pagehandler controller. The default routing behaviour in Codeigniter is of course to route to a matching controller and method, so with the above examples it would require an About controller and a Services controller. This is obviously not a practical or even sensible approach.
I've seen the following solution to place in routes.php:
$route['^(?!admin|products).*'] = "pagehandler/$0";
But this poses it's own problems I believe. For example, it simply looks for "products" in the request uri and if found routes to the Products controller - but what if we have services/products as a CMS page? Does this not then get routed to the products controller?
Is there a perfect approach to this? I don't wish to have a routing where all CMS content is prefixed with the controller name, but I also need to be able to generically override the routing for other controllers.
If you use CodeIgniter 2.0 (which has been stable enough to use for months) then you can use:
$route['404_override'] = 'pages';
This will send anything that isn't a controller, method or valid route to your pages controller. Then you can use whatever PHP you like to either show the page or show a much nicer 404 page.
Read me guide explaining how you upgrade to CodeIgniter 2.0. Also, you might be interested in using an existing CMS such as PyroCMS which is now nearing the final v1.0 and has a massive following.
You are in luck. I am developing a CMS myself and it took me ages to find a viable solution to this. Let me explain myself to make sure that we are on the same page here, but I am fairly certain that we area.
Your URLS can be formatted the following ways:
http://www.mydomain.com/about - a top level page with no category
http://www.mydomain.com/services/maintenance - a page with a parent category
http://www.mydomain.com/services/maintenace/server-maintenance - a page with a category and sub category.
In my pages controller I am using the _remap function that basically captures all requests to your controllers and lets you do what you want with them.
Here is my code, commented for your convenience:
<?php
class Pages extends Controller {
// Captures all calls to this controller
public function _remap()
{
// Get out URL segments
$segments = $this->uri->uri_string();
$segments = explode("/", $segments);
// Remove blank segments from array
foreach($segments as $key => $value) {
if($value == "" || $value == "NULL") {
unset($segments[$key]);
}
}
// Store our newly filtered array segments
$segments = array_values($segments);
// Works out what segments we have
switch (count($segments))
{
// We have a category/subcategory/page-name
case 3:
list($cat, $subcat, $page_name) = $segments;
break;
// We have a category/page-name
case 2:
list($cat, $page_name) = $segments;
$subcat = NULL;
break;
// We just have a page name, no categories. So /page-name
default:
list($page_name) = $segments;
$cat = $subcat = NULL;
break;
}
if ($cat == '' && $subcat == '') {
$page = $this->mpages->fetch_page('', '', $page_name);
} else if ($cat != '' && $subcat == '') {
$page = $this->mpages->fetch_page($cat, '', $page_name);
} else if ($category != "" && $sub_category != "") {
$page = $this->mpages->fetch_page($cat, $subcat, $page_name);
}
// $page contains your page data, do with it what you wish.
}
?>
You of course would need to modify your page fetching model function accept 3 parameters and then pass in info depending on what page type you are viewing.
In your application/config/routes.php file simply put what specific URL's you would like to route and at the very bottom put this:
/* Admin routes, login routes etc here first */
$route['(:any)'] = "pages"; // Redirect all requests except for ones defined above to the pages controller.
Let me know if you need any more clarification or downloadable example code.
