Hello, how can I sotituire id in a url like
example.com/index.php/products/shoes/show/123
with a name of a file?
for example if 123 is the id of a file, I can make the URL
example.com/index.php/products/shoes/show/guide_php

Similar to how must CMS systems work. Pass the parameter to your function, lookup "slug" (filename) in database for the file / file id, and handle accordingly. You could use a regular expression to make it work for either or.
Code:
function shoes(){
$action = $this->uri->segment(3,'view');
switch($action){
case 'show':
if(preg_match('/\d++/')){
$product_id = $this->uri->segment(4);
}else{
$product_id = $this->product_model->getShoes($this->uri->segment(4))->row(0)->shoes_id;
}
break;
//other actions here
}

maybe I did not understand your answer but I try to explain better:
for example in this case http://www.voices.com/people/MichelleFalzon
"People" is the controller and "MichelleFalzon" is the resource or other parameter that is passed to the controller which then will return the resource ... I would do the same thing ....
how can I proceed side code?

Yes you would do the same as the example I provided above. You are just looking a name rather than a id for a record in the DB. You will just have to make sure that a name cannot be entered twice, otherwise the second record wouldn't be accessible.

Maybe I have to work with custom remap URL by URL routing?

My apologies, I hadn't notice that you were giving another example with a different number of segments. You would use a route like:
Code:
$routes['people/(:any)'] = 'people/function/$1';id replace the url - El Forum - 04-20-2010

And what would this rule?
