Not new but trying to figure out how to go about this (Controller + Route / Remap ? ) - El Forum - 12-13-2010

I've not been too active with CI lately but have done some great things with it. I'm trying a different approach.
I'm looking to basically have a way to have from the default install of CI have the Welcome / Index controller + Another controller handle a lot of the front of the site.
Reason for my madness is to have pages all created via DB records.
In short:
.com/ <--- Index Page (welcome.php CLASS)
.com/any-folder/ <--- Routed to: (interior.php CLASS)
.com/any-folder/sub-folder-name/ <--- Routed to : (interior.php CLASS)
The input that comes from segment 1 & 2 (or 3 / 4 / 5 etc) call the DB and populate what interior.php will output via the data grabbed via model and used as output in the view.
Basically allowing a very dynamic site based off DB records. Not creating a controller for every area of the site.
.com/about-us/ (about-us.php controller)
.com/contact-us/ (contact-us.php controller)
.com/help/ (help.php controller).
If I'm not clear let me know

Any thoughts?

Basically just want the string if not index to be returned and I can parse it from there if its not a URI Segment string.

Guess You mean this :
1. Your site's home is handled by controller welcome.php
2. the rest is handled by controller interior.php
To achieve this change Your config/routes.php :
Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
$route[':any'] = "interior";Not new but trying to figure out how to go about this (Controller + Route / Remap ? ) - El Forum - 12-14-2010

Thanks Tomcode..
While that did work I wonder if I should go the _remap method.
The route method does not seem to then let me have an /admin/ controller folder and be able to call that for an admin area. That basically behaves normally.
Kind of want if a controller is named / available then use that. If not fall back to interior or welcome controller than handles the front end or is the default.
Though if a controller is present use that.
Am I asking to much of CI?

This should do it
Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "welcome";
$route['admin'] = "admin";
$route['admin/(:any)'] = "admin/$1";
$route[':any'] = "interior";Not new but trying to figure out how to go about this (Controller + Route / Remap ? ) - El Forum - 12-14-2010
