want to create a url like http://www.example.com/uername - El Forum - 06-20-2012

I want to create a page for the users to view their profile [http://www.example.com/uername] similar to facebook.com after creating their accounts. What would be the best way to achieve that?

cool... but haven't got a clue from there...
This is what I have now....
http://www.example.com/user/profile/12 and now I want it to be http://www.example.com/12
I looked at the codeigniter guide for routing and set up new route similar to this one
$route['(:num)'] = "user/profile/$1"; - not working. This whole routing business seem very tricky to me. Can you please explain it further?

not working... any error messages? what's not working
$route[(:num)] = "user/profile/$1";
I would have expected that to work... is your profile function accepting variables? The $1 is a function variable. For example
Code:
public function profile($user_id){
}If that's not the problem, try this rule, does it work?
$route[u/(:num)] = "user/profile/$1";
I don't have a great deal of experience with routing, perhaps it needs actual 'controller' to 'controller' mapping (for want of a better expression), what I mean is, maybe the first parameter cannot actually be a variable (number in your case), you may have to settle for a url that looks like :domain.com/u/11234

When using a route like that it needs to be the very last route in the list.

Code:
$route['*(:any)'] = 'user/profile/$1';
// May need to change the first number.
$profie = $this->uri->segment(1, 0);
