Deep level argumenting - El Forum - 08-11-2012

I think, this probably is novice question, but I am novice in CodeIgniter
Well here is the problem, I'm trying to make categories and subcategories (dynamically generated) for store, and the main problem is that, I could manage to set different options to main category with _remap function in my controller. But, if I am trying to get deeper, then the same _remap function applies, and I am stuck there.
For example, the main category uri is http://project.com/store/fruits/, but for the subcategory, of course - http://project.com/store/fruits/apples.
I want to apply different view to 3rd segment, and still be able to control main category (fruits) with _remap function.
I want to use one controller over and over, but I think, it must be crazy to copy and paste the same function content for all subcategories (hundreds of them, disguised).
Maybe there is some way to do that, but I can't find out how... Help here!

remap has a second parameter $params which is an array of the other parameters passed in. So...
Code:
function _remap($main_category, $params = array())
{
// do stuff with main category...
while ($subcategory = array_pop($params))
{
// do stuff with each sub category
// each iteration of loop is another level deeper of sub categories
}

All right, and what should be those other parameters?

The parameters are pulled from your URI. http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/controllers.html#passinguri

Okey, I think, I got the idea. I'll try
