Hyphens in URL to underscores in class/method names - sneakyimp - 12-16-2014
OK so I have seen a variety of suggestions about how to translate hyphens in one's url to underscores in the class and method names, but there seem to be few problems:
1) using routes requires tedious maintenance of the routes.php file. This is a non-starter for complex projects and also presents problems with a large dev team. We can't have everyone changing this file all the time.
2) The quick fix described here:
http://ianluckraft.co.uk/2011/01/codeigniter-allow-hyphen-in-url/
alters CodeIgniter core source code which is a no-no and could present problems if we are trying to upgrade our CI install.
3) Extend CI_Router class

Can someone explain to me what happens when you put his file in application/core?
Problem with this approach is that it maps first two segments of your url whether or not these are intended to be interpreted as class/method or not.
Is there any recommended/orthodox/canonical way to accomplish this in CI 2?
EDIT: Ideally this approach would affect only class and method names that are actually existing/valid such that any fractions of the url that were not intended as class/method names would not be affected.
EDIT: Added link I originally forgot about a quick fix.

CI 3.0-dev has this feature as a configurable option.

Code:
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;I may be able to convince my collaborators to switch but I am not optimistic.
That said, is there an recommended/orthodox/canonical way to do this? Perhaps for starters someone could explain to me what we are doing when we extend CI_Router. Seems odd to me that CI would automatically make use of this class without some kind of configuration being changed.

Well... it is route related. So I don't actually think that is "ad-hoc".

I was just thinking that the file is called 'routes' and that all the other values in $routes seem to have a controller path as a value. This particular value in that same array is a boolean.
Still wondering about this:

I have upgraded to CI3 so this issue is resolved for me.
