Using Sub-Directories for Default_controller - ridley1012 - 05-08-2015
Hi Everyone, Apologies if this has been asked and answered else where but I couldn't find anything.
Basically, when setting the default controller to:
PHP Code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';
everything works as expected but as soon as I set the default controller to a file within a sub directory it doesn't work as per below:
PHP Code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'admin/dashboard';
The file has an index() function therefore accessing the method/function is not a problem and I've also tried the following just in case:
PHP Code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'admin/dashboard/index';
It definitely worked in codeigniter 2.4 but from a little bit of reading online it appears this has been changed in codeigniter 3, is there anything I can do to rectify this?
Thanks
Chris

As far as I understand, the default_controller would not work with subdirectories, look here:

As narfbg mentioned:
Quote:Then it's working just fine, 'default_controller' can be either just the controller name or a controller/method pair. That you had it working with a directory in 2.1.x is a bug and not the intended behavior.

As far as i know,
You should use your controller name at first , then you can also use the name of a function inside it
PHP Code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'coltroller/function';
so in your case you should have a controller admin.php in your `controllers` folder, which has the function `dashboard` inside it

You can also do this:
PHP Code:
$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';
Then inside your welcome controller do a simple redirect
PHP Code:
redirect("admin/dashboard");
