Again. Controller in Sub-folders (new way?) - El Forum - 01-02-2008

I'm testing this on 1.5.4

routes.php:

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "main/main";

$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";

$route['privacy'] = "privacy/privacy";

$route['privacy/other'] = "privacy/privacy/other";

folders:

Code:
application/controllers/main/main.php

application/controllers/privacy/privacy.php

views:

Code:
application/views/main/main.php

application/views/privacy/privacy.php

application/views/privacy/other.php

application/controllers/privacy/privacy.php:

Code:
&lt;?php

class Privacy extends Controller {

    function index() {

        $this->load->view('privacy/privacy');

    }

    function other() {

        $this->load->view('privacy/other');

    }

}

?&gt;

Ok... there's all my code, and works fine using this:

Code:
site.com

site.com/privacy

site.com/privacy/other

Yes! Great, works like I want... BUT! look again my routes file..., and imagine 500 pages on my site..., I can't write routes pages by pages, I need an automatic router.

I use http://code.google.com/p/enginemvc/ for a while, but is very small, I need something like CI, but don't have the features like I want. I need some help with this issue.

Thanks!

Have you tried this without the routes... because the loader will search in a single depth sub folder for a matching controller
The only time we have found an issue is if you want more than 1 sub folder depth

Code:
application/controllers/main/admin/admin.php

application/controllers/main/admin/user.php

will not work.

Or if you try to do something tricky like

Code:
application/controllers/main.php

application/controllers/main/admin.php

will also not work. This is because you have a controller at the root level the same name as a sub folder

but just to have

Code:
application/controllers/main/main.php

application/controllers/privacy/privacy.php

working requires no effort

It is also unclear from your example why you are putting the controllers into sub folders. I assume there are going to be multiple controllers under the main sub folder and also under the privacy subfolder.
If not then just do not use subfolders.

First of all, BIG thanks for your response tonanbarbarian.
You right, I don't need controllers in folder, in fact I don't use them in folders in my others MVC system, hehehe.

just:

Code:
application/controllers/main.php

application/controllers/privacy.php

Works fine now with just that. Maybe I wil need a solution in a few days for doing something like this:

Code:
application/controllers/admin/main.php

application/controllers/main.php

application/controllers/privacy.php

Or start doing something like this too is fine:

Code:
application/controllers/admin/main.php

application/controllers/public/main.php

application/controllers/public/privacy.php

I don't like the modular separation for now. And yes, this data was just examples, I'm making a strong base for doing a social web site, that need a lot of files, folders and that kind of stuff.

Thanks again pal, sorry about my poor english, I'm from Argentina.

Thanks.

Both of the last 2 example you give should be possible without any modification or routes

I know, but I don't want URL like this: site.com/public/privacy, maybe with .htaccess I can fix that, URL for the admin site.com/admin/privacy is fine.

so then do not put any of your public controller in a subfolder
do something like the following

Code:
application/controllers/admin/main.php

application/controllers/main.php

application/controllers/privacy.php

I do this all the time.
Usually the only sub folder I have in the controllers is an admin sub folder that contains admin versions of all of the root controllers
