URL Manipulation - El Forum - 07-11-2007

So is it possible for me to make a url that looks like this:

Code:
http://www.site.com/index.php/admin/view/entryname

look like this:

Code:
http://www.site.com/entryname

If so, how do I go about that?

Thank you.

First you need to use .htaccess to remove the index.php then config/routes.php to deal with the routing of the page - something like this:

.htaccess:

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

    RewriteRule /favicon\.ico /images/favicon.ico [L]

    SetEnv mod_rewrite_enabled 1

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

    SetEnv mod_rewrite_enabled 0

</IfModule>

Routes:

Code:
$route[':any'] = "admin/view";

Put any routes after the default ones - And I'm not sure if this will work anyway - you may have to use

Code:
$route['view/:any'] = "admin/view";

and have the url http://www.site.com/view/entryname

Check the user manual for routing.

Ah. That's so close to working! I do have to write it like "view/:any", though. Unfortunately I need it to appear like it's at the root level - not in a "view" folder.

Any other suggestions on this?
