SEO friendly urls http://example.com/mymethod,name_of_article,2 - El Forum - 02-28-2013

Hello I wanted to create more friendly urls for my CI application with a structure : http://example.com/mymethod,name_of_article,2. How can I make my app to examine URL like this and take it's 1'st parameter as method in the controller, second as the name of article (for SEO) and last - article ID.

Thx for help

For example your method is named "post" and controller "blog". To get urls like

Code:
mysite.com/posts,name,id

:

routes.php

Code:
$route['posts,(:any),(:num)'] = "blog/post/$1/$2"

blog.php

Code:
public function post($name, $id)

{

$data['post'] = $this->post_model->get_post($name, $id);

}

post_model.php

Code:
public function get_post($name, $id)

{

$query = $this->db->get_where('post_table', array('post_name' => $name, 'post_id' => $id));

return $query->row_array();

}

There may be typos somewhere but hope you get the idea. Remember to add some error handling (when you deleted post from database and someone clicked on old link etc.).

Yup i think ill make it that way. The title of the post won't be used in queries, just the id Smile

but anyway thanks for help.
