[SOLVED] How to select default controller in subfolder?

Hi community,

I'm trying to do a project in Codeigniter 3.x, but I have a question concerning the routes.

If I have the following structure

/application/controllers/Welcome.php

I can put the following in routes.php and have no problem

PHP Code:

$ route ['default_controller'] = 'welcome'; 


The problem is that if I have the following structure

/application/controllers/admin/Welcome.php

I am not allowed to configure the routes so

PHP Code:

$ route ['default_controller'] = 'admin/welcome'; 


There is the ability to set default controller in a subdirectory of controllers?


Thank you!

No, you can't do that.

No, you can't do that.

You can like
/application/admin/[i]controllers/Welcome.php[/i]

and than set default

Am I right Narf?

I have asked this question my self before you need to create a MY_Router.php file in application / core

Default Controller In Sub Folder

PHP Code:

<?php
 
class MY_Router extends CI_Router {
    protected function _set_default_controller() {
         
        if (empty($this->default_controller)) {
            
            show_error('Unable to determine what should be displayed. A default route has not been specified in the routing file.');
        }
        // Is the method being specified?
        if (sscanf($this->default_controller, '%[^/]/%s', $class, $method) !== 2) {
            $method = 'index';
        }
         
        // This is what I added, checks if the class is a directory
        if( is_dir(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$class) ) {
             
            // Set the class as the directory
            
            $this->set_directory($class);
            
            // $method is the class
            
            $class = $method;
            
            // Re check for slash if method has been set
            
            if (sscanf($method, '%[^/]/%s', $class, $method) !== 2) {
                $method = 'index';
            }
        }
         
        if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$this->directory.ucfirst($class).'.php')) {
            
            // This will trigger 404 later
            
            return;
        }
        $this->set_class($class);
        $this->set_method($method);
        // Assign routed segments, index starting from 1
        $this->uri->rsegments = array(
            1 => $class,
            2 => $method
        );
        log_message('debug', 'No URI present. Default controller set.');
    }
} 


There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!

No, you can't do that.

You can like
/application/admin/[i]controllers/Welcome.php[/i]

and than set default

Am I right Narf?

No.

wolfgang1983 thanks for your help, I will review the class you mention.


If this is not enabled by default for Codeigniter, what is the best way to separate environments? I was doing the following

/application/controllers/admin/
/application/controllers/frontend/
/application/controllers/webservice/

I have a similar setup.

I have an "admin" sub-folder, and inside that, an index.php controller file that has an index method.

Then you just add additional routing

PHP Code:

$route['admin'] = 'admin/index'; 


this has worked for me!

There was to many quotes in you previous reply was hard to understand

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!

It only pertains to the default controller, all other controllers in sub-folders will work with the route ( sub-folder/controller).

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
