I'm currently adding affiliate system to my site.
currently my affiliate agent can use URL like this:
http://www.mysite.com/affiliate/mantero
'mantero' is affiliate id which is unique and dynamic
my problem is how I'm able to remove the controller name in URL and they can just use like this:
http://www.mysite.com/mantero
My appologies if this has been asked before..but I really could'nt find any solution for my exact problem
thanks in advanced

If you add this into config/routes.php it should do the trick:
Quote:$route['mantero'] = 'affiliate/mantero';

how I'm supposed to do that..that 'mantero' is the ID which is unique and dynamic..it just an example...
if I have thousands of ID I don't think I can make a routes for all that...

in that case:
Code:
$route[‘(:any)’] = ‘affiliate/$1’;

That will not work since he has other controllers. Thus his other controllers will be routed to "affiliate/controller_name". I dont really have a solution but I just know this did not work for me. If I am wrong please let me know so I can fix my code.
Maybe hooks are a better solution?

yes, the problem is because I have other controller as well..
can we make exception for the routes?
I mean if I have Controller1,Controller2,Controller3, except all these controller will goes to affiliate controller...are this possible?

Why wouldn't this work?
Code:
$route['otherroute/(:any)'] = "othercontroller/$1";
$route["(:any)"] = "affiliates/$1";

$route['otherroute/(:any)'] = "othercontroller/$1";<--that mean I have to define the route for each of my controller?
