So this is more of an application structure question then it is about the code. Basically, I want to create a simple blog to use with my site. I already have an /admin controller which contains the admin functions for the site so I thought it would be logical to have the blog admin in there (e.g the create/update/delete functions). However, I'm wondering how I'd structure it?
Basically, I'd want to be able to go mysite.com/admin/blog/add or /admin/blog/edit/16 (where 16 is the ID of the post). As it currently is, I believe the third url parameter is supposed to be the first argument in the function. How would you guys suggest I go about making the blog?

If admin is the controller, and it's only for the blog, then I don't thin you need 'blog' as a segment, you can use edit as a function in the controller that way.

Admin isn't just for the blog though - it controls all the admin functions for the site. The blog is just a component of the site, so I'd like to separate it from the other admin controls in /blog/

I would put admin in its own folder and create controls from that. That way they aren't all residing one single control.
I think you can make a new folder called admin within the controllers folder and be good to go.

so then I could have
/admin/blog.php
/admin/something.php
And read it like mysite.com/admin/blog? It seems like I'd need to add some sort of custom routing or htaccess changes.

Yeah. Iteration and an open copy of the user guide is much better that typing "anyone?" to bump a thread. That's a legit suggestion, too. I'm not just being and ass.

Well, I understand that's a fine way to structure but I was wondering how to make CI use this type of URL /admin/blog/function/param ?
Edit: nevermind, got it all sorted. Thanks for those who helped anyway.
