+--- Thread: Default static page controller? (/showthread.php?tid=14925)
Default static page controller? - El Forum - 01-20-2009

I have a site that contains about half dynamic and half static pages, right now I have a controller for every static page but they only set the page title, load the navigation and then a view. Is there a way I can have just one controller that handles all static pages with each function inside it loads the correct view? Is there a way to do this without writing 10-15 routing rules?

Sure, just make one page controller that has methods for each static page: /page/static. The static method then simply loads the view. It all depends on your prefs. for an URL scheme.

Lifting some code from Dyllon to do this, modified of course.
application/libraries/My_Router.php
Code:
class MY_Router extends CI_Router {
function MY_Router()
{
parent::CI_Router();
}
function _validate_request($segments)
{
// Does the requested controller NOT exist?
if (!file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$segments[0].EXT))
{
$segments = array("pages",$segments[0]);
}
}
return parent::_validate_request($segments);
}
