one parameter to index() function ;) - El Forum - 02-03-2010

I've been trying to use this like urls, but i suppose it doesn't work. I'm newbie on this and i followed phpandstuff CI & Doctrine tutorial
Code:
<?php
class Home extends Controller {
public function index() {
$vars['categories'] = Doctrine::getTable('Category')->findAll();
$vars['title'] = 'Home';
$vars['content_view'] = 'forum_list';
$vars['container_css'] = 'forums';
$this->load->view('template', $vars);
}
}All i need is to use urls that will provide argument to funcion index($param); The parametr which will allow me to select one row in table category. In example i go to url
localhost/ci/waiting
that makes content is gathered from category 'waiting' that has some ID...
and like that for all categories. For not specified category, like url: localhost/ci/
This goes for example to default category...
@edit:
This ...
Code:
->find($category);one parameter to index() function ;) - El Forum - 02-03-2010

My answer below assumes that your base_url is "localhost/ci/".
you are trying to shorten your url by leaving out both the controller and the method.
I can give you an answer, but if your application needs more then 1 controller, it will be rather difficult to maintain.
if you are looking for a way to pass in a category, without necessarily looking to shorten your url, you can always set a default in your function parameter:
Code:
public function index( $category="books" )and then point the other links to "localhost/ci/home/index/[category to pass in]"
If you want the other way, and are willing to take the extra work to maintain it, let me know.

would be good if i hadn't had o use htacces for shortening and manipulating urls... I just need to query wchich will allow me to get by address etc: localhost/ci/waiting localhost/ci/accepted <- waiting and accepted are in table category and it's the column called title. And second thing, how can i get rig of home/index/blablabla and use instead /blablabla, which will defintely be better. Thank you
