route all URL to only one controller! - El Forum - 02-17-2008

I want to use smarty as template, and I want to use URL like
www.myserver.com/index.php/templategroup/templatename/parm1/parm2/....
templategroup and templatename will be fetched from database.
for that need to have only controller to do this.
I don't know how to do this.

I got it using regExp routing:
$route['(.*)'] = "site/$1";
@wiredesignz

I used the $route[':any'] = 'my_default_controller'
Then worked out it killed everything else unless I added it manually below it;
$route['blog/:any'] = 'my_blog_controller'
$route['blog'] = 'my_blog_controller'
So I figured it was probably best to only forward the bits I wanted, rather than everything and then minus out the parts I wanted to keep going to their own controller.

I needed to do something similar, and ended up extending the Router class (it's a real small and simple extension).
I wanted any requests like: http://mysite.com/some_page_name to be equivalent to: http://mysite.com/page/read/some_pag_name.
... and I wanted to set it up in routes with "$route['default_query'] = 'page/read';"
Perhaps not exactly what you need, but it might give you some ideas for what is possible.
Here's my original post that has the extension I made (didn't get any responses yet):
