Hey gang,
Trying to get some real simply URL processing for a project im on. I have never got on shockingly well with regex or mod_rewriting subdomain urls, so how can I force the folllowing links to some CI controllers? I understand there will be a mix of routes and mod_rewrite but im struggling on them both.
http://groups.sitename.com/group_name
and
http://sitename.com/user_name
I need to somehow turn the names into userID and groupID but im thinking I can just add an extra method to a controller like:
Code:
function group_from_name($group_name)
{
$groupID = $this->group_model->getIDfromName($group_name);
$this->profile($groupID)
}
function profile($groupID)
{
bla bla normal group profile code...
}Been pondering this one for a while!
