I want to group my controllers, views and models into public/ and members/ subfolders.
But for the public stuff, I don't want /public/ to show in the URL, so:
http://mysite.com/ & http://mysite.com/section/
should point to: /public/home & public/section/
How should I change routes.php to accommodate this?
(I'm fine with members/ stuff having members/ in the url)
To make http://mysite.com/ point to /public/home you will need to mark public/home as your default controller. You will also need to add a specific route to make http://mysite.com/section point to /public/section. Try this (the regex is a little dubious in my opinion, but may do what you want):
$route['default_controller'] = "public/home";
$route['section/(.*?)'] = "public/section/$1";
Kindly see if this works for you:
$route['section'] = "public/section";
Your index page would remain as "public/index.php"
You don't need to add routes for every controller.
This works for me:
$route['members'] = 'members'; // route members to members
$route['members/(.*?)'] = 'members/$1'; // route members/... to members/...
$route['(.*?)'] = 'public/$1'; // route anything but above lines to public/...
The first two lines are intentionally redundant to protect 'members' segment from being routed to 'public'. And the third line does the magic.

I am using the latest version of CodeIgniter on Server2008 with IIS7.5
I have all of my CI files in a folder mywebsite.com/survey
nps = Controller
survey = Function
client_id = variable base64 encoded client number
I have a script that runs when you visit:
http://mywebsite.com/survey/nps/survey/client_id/MjgzOTcyMW
But I want for it to run when you visit:
http://mywebsite.com/survey/MjgzOTcyMW
How do I set up my routes.php?
I currently have:
$route['/:any'] = 'nps/survey/client_id/';
try
$route['(:any)'] = 'nps/survey/client_id/$1';
or
$route['survey/(:any)'] = 'nps/survey/client_id/$1';
You have to make sure you don't mix up your routes here:
Using just $route['/:any'] would be wrong (even if you had the (:any) correct.
To properly define a route), remember that the left hand side is the pattern route, and the right hand (after the =) is the translated controller/method/parameter format.
So define the route (after all your other routes) as they are to be ordered from MOST specific to least specific (similar to ALLOW/DENY rules etc;):
$route['survey/(:any)'] = 'nps/survey/client_id/$1';
I want to create location pages in my codeigniter site. So I have one contrller named locations and index method. So all the requests http://mysite.com/location_name should be landed to http://mysite.com/index.php/locations/index. And all other should work as it is like http://mysite.com/login should be landed to http://mysite.com/index.php/home/login. Contact us http://mysite.com/contact-us should be landed to http://mysite.com/index.php/home/contact.
I tried to achieve this by writing following line route rule (route.php):
$route['(:any)'] = 'locations'; //location name can be anything around the world
So locations are working fine, but http://mysite.com/login and http://mysite.com/contact-us are not working, they redirecting continuously in infinite loop.
Please suggest the solution. Thank.
The routes are applied from top to bottom, so you need to have your more specific rules listed first, then your more generic rules last:
$route['login'] = 'home/login';
$route['contact-us'] = 'home/contact';
$route['(:any)'] = 'location/index';
I see that you mentioned you've tried changing the order of rules in your route file. So If you have done this and it's not working - you have something else going on.
I would check these things:
.htaccess file (if you're using it)
controllers that are causing the infinite loop (any redirections in there, _remap method, etc. )
As I read the doc, controllers in CodeIgniter are supposed to support multiple level subfolders, but as far as I have tested, it is impossible to work after first a first level folder.
By example:
mysite.dev/ (index page, default controller home.php, works)
mysite.dev/admin/ (admin section, in admin/home.php, works)
mysite.dev/admin/manage/ (in admin/manage/home.php, do not work)
I am trying to know why and how to make it work on multiple level sub folders?
Thanks in advance!
CI only allows one sub-dir level. However, you can emulate this pattern with routes file as #Brendan says:
Controllers:
welcome.php
admin/admin.php
admin/manage.php
Routes file:
$route['admin/manage/:any'] = "admin/manage/$1";
$route['admin/admin'] = 'admin/home.php';
You can implement some changes to the hardcode to get works as expected: http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/190563/
I had my users profile at
www.domain.com/user/username
and moved it at
www.domain.com/username
but this required to add most classes functions into the routes.php file in the config and if i want to add new features to my app i will need to add all the functions into the routes.php file which doesnt sound good practice...
What is the best way that other deal with it on CodeIgniter ?
Perhaps, you can do it the other way round - make a whitelist of usernames that can't be taken (those would be names of your controllers, like admin, contact, etc...) and route anything except the whitelist items.
seems i got the answer
what i did is add the below code for every controller i have
$route['controller'] = "controller";
$route['controller/(:any)'] = "controller/$1";
and this code at the bottom
$route['(:any)'] = "user/$1";
I am trying to work out the code igniter routing
I have a url that will look like
http://example.com/register
I want that to hit
http://example.com/account/register/normal
I also have
http://example.com/invite/something_random_here
which I want to hit
http://example.com/account/register/invite/something_random_here
I also have
http://example.com/register/something_random_here
which I want to hit
http://example.com/account/register/subscribed/something_random_here
How do I setup these routes?
Pretty much Straight out of the User Guide
$route['register'] = "account/register/normal";
$route['invite/(:any)'] = "account/register/invite/$1";
Basically anything after invite/ will get tacked onto the end of account/register/invite. I believe it only works for one segment, if you want multiple segment support you'll have to use a regular expression:
$route['invite/(.+)'] = "account/register/invite/$1";
Another usefull one (because I believe (:any) only works for characters) would be:
$route['invite/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)'] = "account/register/invite/$1";
This will let all alpha-numeric values (single segment) with _ or - go through, great for GUIDs :)
I believe for your first URL, you would use the following route:
$route['register'] = "account/register/normal";
Your second URL, would make use of the following route:
$route['invite/(:any)'] = "account/register/invite/$1";
Both of these routes would need to be placed in your "config/routes.php" file.
Hope this helps?
