homepage set... moving on? newb help - El Forum - 05-05-2010
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
so, i have my homepage and loading the templates. now, i'm trying to get a second page (about us) working. not sure how to go about doing that... here is my controller thus far (as of right now, i'm not using a database)
Code:
class Home extends Controller {
function Home(){
parent::Controller();
}
function index(){
$data["title"] = "home page title...";
$data["description"] = "home page description...";
$this->load->vars($data);
$this->load->view('include/header');
$this->load->view('layout/home');
$this->load->view('include/footer');
}
}so i assume i would use the same controller and just add to it. i basically want an "about us" page that uses a different template (i understand how to set the template using the view loader). also confused about the url structure needed to access this page. ideally i just want "index.php/about"
if someone could break this down for me i would GREATLY appreciate it.

The url structure is:
Quote:http://www.mydomain.tld/{controller}/{method}/{parameters}...
Where the default method is index(). So,
Quote:http://www.mydomain.tld/home
Will point to the Home controller, and the index method. To go to about, you would have a method in the Home controller called about(), and the url would be:
Quote:http://www.mydomain.tld/home/about
If you want to remove home from that url, you'd need to use custom routing. You can read about routing (and the above) at http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html

So, the second parameter you can make a new function:
Code:
class Home extends Controller {
function __construct(){
parent::Controller();
}
function index(){
$data["title"] = "home page title...";
$data["description"] = "home page description...";
$this->load->vars($data);
$this->load->view('include/header');
$this->load->view('layout/home');
$this->load->view('include/footer');
}
function aboute()
{
$data["title"] = "aboute title...";
$data["description"] = "home page description aboute...";
$this->load->vars($data);
$this->load->view('include/header');
$this->load->view('layout/home');
$this->load->view('include/footer');
}
}
