HTACCESS questions - El Forum - 09-01-2012

Hi everyone,
I have some questions about htaccess in codeigniter.
I want to be able to do the following things:
/category
/category/subcategory
/category/subcategory/subsubcategory
(these categories are stored in my database)
/infopage (a page which doesn't need functions, just text)
/controller/function/id (the standard one)
so if someone goes to mysite.com/hello
I want to check if it is a category,
if it's not a category I want to check if it is an info page,
else it must be a controller, or the 404 page will show up.
But i don't know how the info pages work, do i have to make a new controller for each page?
i.e. I want mysite.com/aboutus
do i need to make a controller "aboutus.php" with an index function, or are there better ways to accomplish this?
I hope that you guys can help me out with this one, because I have no idea where to start.
Thanks!

Look into routes and _remap().

Can you help me out with the following:
example.com/gifts/awesome
first:
check if "gifts" exists in de database,
else check if it is an info page
else load the controller, or show 404
and then a little question which I asked before,
"I don’t know how the info pages work, do i have to make a new controller for each page?
i.e. I want mysite.com/aboutus
do I need to make a controller “aboutus.php” with an index function, or are there better ways to accomplish this?"
I can offer money to help me if you can help me all the way out with this!

The routes conf must to be declared in order of:
First, knowed paths (as you say, infopage)
Last, unknown paths (for categories, etc...) in inverse length order:
For 3 levels: ([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)
For 2 levels: ([a-z0-9_-]+)/([a-z0-9_-]+)
For 1 level: ([a-z0-9_-]+)
Anyway, if your unknown path is a controller/function, codeigniter can find it (if exists).
Any other paths will go to the controller you define in your routes conf.
