URL Routing by .htaccess or routes.php - El Forum - 11-30-2007
[eluser]Gavin Vickery[/eluser]
Hello,
I'm working on a small app that only has one controller, but several smaller functions within it. By default, CI shows the controller name in the URL. I would like to always use this one controller by default, and only show the function names.
Example:
Controller: main
Function (within main): find
URL:
http://example.com/find (NOT: http://example.com/main/find)
I've got this working via my .htaccess file
Code:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /if/index.php/main/$1 [L]But I don't know if this is the best practice. Should I be using routes? If so, how would I go about doing that? Not sure I fully understand how routes or supposed to work.
Cheers

This has been solved. Sorry, I was using the routes incorrectly with the wildcards (:any and :num). Works great now with the default .htaccess setup.
