Hello!

I recently discovered CodeIgniter, and for the last couple of days I've been playing around a bit with it. My plan is to find a nice php framework that allows me to separate presentation, data and logic and eventually migrate an entire website to it.

However, I encountered problems right away. For creating the main menu, I have a system where the "current" link gets a class tag, like this: <a href="something.php" class="active">Some link</a>. This is based on the filename, and the logic looks something like this: if($filename == 'something.php') echo 'class="active';

Now, I wouldn't know how to do this with CI, since it always loads from index.php. My first idea was to compare it to the first segment of the URI instead of the filename, but that wouldn't work either, since having a default controller permits URIs without a first segment.

My second idea was to set a variable in the controller, so the view will know which controller called it. I haven't tried this yet, but I am sure it would work, even though it would not be a very elegant solution. How do you solve this?

Anyway, on to my next question. I have quite lots of things that simply need fetching from a database. Say I want to get the content-field from a table called 'news' where the id is 5. Right now, I do it this way (don't mind the tinymce-code):

Hello, I would like to ask you what is the best way to use different languages in application.

I would prefer the users choose their language at the beginning in form element.
How can I change the language?

I have tried this with autoload of the language files with deafult language in config file

I everybody,

I have to read from a DB some records and I have to build my dynamic query based on uri segments. (and some $_POST values...)

I have, for example:

http://www.my-site.com/buy

http://www.my-site.com/sell

http://www.my-site.com/buy/car

http://www.my-site.com/sell/motocycle/red

http://www.my-site.com/buy/dog/big/italy...g-name/123

I want to build the query in just one controller...

Is it the right way to make: ?

$route['buy/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'home/$5';
$route['sell/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'home/$5';

$route['buy/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'home/$4';
$route['sell/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'home/$4';

$route['buy/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'home/$3';
$route['sell/(:any)/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'home/$3';

$route['buy/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'home/$2';
$route['sell/(:any)/(:any)'] = 'home/$2';

$route['buy/(:any)'] = 'home/$1';
$route['sell/(:any)'] = 'home/$1';

$route['buy'] = 'home';
$route['sell'] = 'home';

What's the best solution to make this?

I'm very sorry about my english...

Will be better tomorrow... :-)

I'm calling a set_flashdata on a page. The sessions are automatically loaded and I've had no problems with them, but when I try to set this it returns the error:

I'm new to CI, but it seems strange that after a redirect('thispage') my post data still remains. Is there something i'm missing here or not doing correctly as I have not had this problem before w/ multiple submits from the same form being possible.

I generate my pages by calling multiple views (header, form, footer). How would I get this page back after validation? I don't want to call all the views again (code duplication). Is there a way to call a controller (something like $this->call->controller('formpage') on form error, passing all the error messages to it and it's views?

Thanks.

Howdy everyone,

Just after a little bit of help with CI's routes. I have the following setup.

I have a main controller, which handles dynamic menus and their content. So in my example I'm re-doing my website (it desperately needs my love and attention and not a 2 minute hack).

I have the following things redirect to the default controller - which determines what section we're looking at, and what page of that section we're looking at.

I have;
/domains
/domains/some-pages
/hosting
/hosting/some-pages
/another-thing
/another-thing/and-it's-pages

Now I've been using routes for ['domains'] and pushing it back to my default controller, but that requires me to edit the routes.php file itself any time a new section is added.

As far as CMS goes - I don't like that idea.

I could use no route - and create a proper handling controller so that my site was
mysite.com/site/domains - but I want to remove the /site/ all together.

So now I've added a [':any'] and [':any/:any'] clause in my routes config. Which pushes "everything" back to the default controller. But I want "blog" for example to not be pushed there.

So I add a ['blog'] = "blog"; to goto that controller instead. But then if I goto /blog/something it doesn't work.

If I add ['blog/:any'] = "blog" - it just pushes it back to the default controller (and the index function) rather than where I would want it to go (it's normal function).

This isn't a problem at the moment, but I just thought I would see if anyone else has done something similar to what I'm trying to do.

Cheers for your thoughts

[i]Edit: I have been trying to do something like $route['blog/:any'] = "blog/$2" but I don't actually know the proper setup for this.
