URL question - El Forum - 07-30-2008
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I'm trying to send a variable with the value of "the-project-name" to my project controller. It works right now when I send it to the index function:
http://mysite.com/project/index/the-project-name/
But how do I circumvent the index function and still send variables and launch the index function? So it looks like this:
http://mysite.com/project/the-project-name/
Doing this just gives an error: 404 Page Not Found The page you requested was not found.
Here's what my code looks like:
Code:
<?php
class Project extends Controller {
function Project()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->load->model('Projects_model');
$this->load->helper('typography');
$this->load->helper('url');
}
function index()
{
$data = array(
'project_title' => 'Project',
'project_heading' => 'All Projects',
'query' => $this->Projects_model->get_project($this->uri->segment(3))->result()
);
$this->load->view('common/header');
$this->load->view('common/nav');
$this->load->view('project_view', $data);
$this->load->view('common/footer');
}
}
?>How do you do this?

I'm using route to do that.
Code:
$route['project/(.*)']='project/detail/$1';in my controller, I create the function detail instead the index.
Code:
function detail($project_name)
{
....
your index functin code
....
}and don't need to call the uri->segment in that function, just call the $project_name variable

The difference between
Code:
http://mysite.com/project/index/the-project-name/
and
http://mysite.com/project/the-project-name/[code]
$route['project/(.*)']='project/index/$1';
[code]
Not working. I feel, rewrite rule in .htaccess might be a solution. Sorry to say i don't know how to write .htaccess if (condition) execute instruction code.

I think rewrite rule just clean up the url.
You can try by type http://yoursite.com/index.php/project/the-project-name with no .htaccess.

The question seems to me, 'the-project-name' treat as function name rather then parameter or segment while we remove index.php or index. So if we are able to place index in between http://mysite.com/project/ and the-project-name then the full uri path (apache treat) will become http://mysite.com/project/index/the-project-name.
Well at this point, lets consider the following .htaccess code
Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]
RewriteRule ^favicon\.ico - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]Code:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]Now to resolve our issue we need to write this sort of index placement in between but surely with a condition like: if the request url have project as first segment then we add index in the middle.
hope help you.

Routes are what you want to use, something like this will work perfectly:
Code:
$route['project/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)'] = 'project/index/$1';Note: This will only match project/slug-here, not project/slug-here/ (note the trailing slash).

I am using
Code:
$route['project/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)'] = 'project/index/$1';Here is my test controller.
Code:
<?php
class Project extends Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::Controller();
}
function index($var)
{
echo $var;
}
}
?>Code:
404 Page Not Found
The page you requested was not found.But works fine for http://localhost/shopno-dinga/project/index/test_value

Hm.... I always use that method for uri manipulation and works.
Can you try new function instead index like :
Code:
function index()
{
}
function show_page($var)
{
echo $var;
}and reroute your routing to this function.
Tell me it works or not

Thanks but the question is now how we can utilize CI route power by using
Code:
$route['project/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)'] = 'project/index/$1';URL question - El Forum - 07-31-2008

Sumon - you are saying routing does not work if you are routing to the index() method? For example, if you changed the route to show_page, like srobet suggested, it works?
Two thoughts here:
1) If my description above is correct, we should submit a bug report about it.
2) show_page is a much better name than index() because it actually tells you what the method does. I've always been a fan of routing and you will hear me say over and over - the class/methods have nothing to do with the URI. It's a nice side benefit but never rely on it, if you want a specific URI, define it. This is the perfect example where a method could be named much more descriptively and routing could do it's job.
