Language-based SEF URL`s - El Forum - 07-27-2008
[eluser]harfaspaul[/eluser]
My first post here, so a big hello goes to everyone.
I`m working on a website using CI, and I want to implement Language-based SEF URL`s. I`m already using the URL language identification library, so at the moment the URL`s look like this : http://<host>/<language>/<class>/<function>
There will be 3 languages for the user to choose from : English, Romanian and Hungarian (en, ro, hu - in the URL). What I`d like to do is have the class and function names change depending on the active language, but still keep it all in just 1 file (1 controller) rather than having different controllers for each language...
Ex : English : http://<host>/en/about/history
Romanian : http://<host>/ro/despre/istoric
My question is if there`s any way to do this, except the obvious .htaccess or routes.php? Based on info stored in the DB maybe?
Thanks for your help.
Paul.

Ex : English : http://<host>/en/about/history
Romanian : http://<host>/ro/despre/istoric
not like here
Ex : English : http://<host>/about/history
Romanian : http://<host>/despre/istoric
Looks same however you can use language Class for this

Yash : thanks for your reply ... but I am not sure you understand what I mean. I want BOTH these URL`s to point to the same controller(class):
English : http://<host>/en/about/history
Romanian : http://<host>/ro/despre/istoric
And I want to avoid routes.php or .htaccess because of the dynamic nature of the pages in the website (news, job offers, etc). I am actually using the language class already, for some form labels, messages, etc.

Your best bet is to go into the wiki and search for language url identifier.
Good luck !

Look into using the _remap() feature.

In the controller, for "translating" the method:
Code:
function istoric(){
[..]code goes here[..]
}
function history(){
$this->istoric();
}And for the controller you need to add this this in config/routes.php
Code:
$route['([a-zA-Z]{2})/about(.*)'] = "despre$2";
