url question - El Forum - 07-02-2007 [eluser]modano[/eluser] Hi, I wonder, how would i set up the url helper so that when www.domain.com/something/ is requested, and /something/ does not exist as a controller or anything, a default/specific controller would handle those requests? thanks in advance, modano url question - El Forum - 07-02-2007 [eluser]zdknudsen[/eluser] You can't use the URL helper for that. But one way of doing it would be adding the route $route[':any/:any'] = "defaultcontrollername/defaultmethodname"; That would route any request to your defaultcontroller. But additionally you would have to add routes for your other controllers. $route['news(.*)'] = "news$1"; $route['pies(.*)'] = "pies$1"; $route['forum(.*)'] = "forum$1"; And so forth. (By the way I haven't tested this, it's just from the top of my head, so it might not work). EDIT: It's important that the :any/:any route is at the END of your routes config file, otherwise the defaultcontroller will always be called. url question - El Forum - 07-02-2007 [eluser]modano[/eluser] thanks a bunch zawk. as long as it is possible! im happy. if not, we are gonna have to dump CI and i dont want to do that will play around with what you suggested, thanks again! url question - El Forum - 07-02-2007 [eluser]marcoss[/eluser] [quote author="Zawk" date="1183403731"] $route[':any/:any'] = "defaultcontrollere/defaultmethodname"; [/quote] That's a really bad idea, you should never do that. Instead you could modify the exception class to handle the errors your own way, try this implementation http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/54807/#269268. url question - El Forum - 07-02-2007 [eluser]modano[/eluser] ah, even better! thanks marcoss. thanks both of you. modano |
