Routing or remap - ernestlambert - 09-30-2015
I have the controller "profiles" and I want the URI "/profile/1" to map to "/profiles/view/1" also "/property/1" should map to "/properties/view/1. I want to do this for all my controllers so is there a way of writing a general rules in the routes file or via remap so that the singular of the class name followed by a slash and a number routes to the class name followed by "/view/" and the number?

You can setup routes, or you can use a MY_Controller with a _remap function and extend your controller from your MY_Controller.
Create MY_Controller.php in ./application/core
PHP Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct() {
log_message('debug', "Class MY_Controller Initialized.");
parent::__construct();
}
public function _remap($method) {
// Check if the method is available
if( method_exists($this, $method) ) {
$this->{$method}();
} else {
// Method is your arg value for the view method
$this->view($method);
}
}
}
Now to use this just extend your controllers from MY_Controller instead of CI_Controller
PHP Code:
class Your_Controller extends MY_Controller {
}

Thank you for your response.
The problem I experience now is that the controller "profile" does not exist, it is actually named "profiles". As such, the url "/profile/1" gives me a 404 page not found message but the url "/profiles/1" can then be handled by the _remap function...Any ideas?

Ah, I misread that in your original post. Then you should set it with routes.
Add routes to the routes.php file in ./application/config
PHP Code:
/* Route a url with profile as the first segment to the method view in the
* controller profiles passing in the match as a variable to the method.
* (:any) will match anything in the second segment
* use (:num) to only match numbers
*/
$route['profile/(:any)'] = profiles/view/$1
$route['property/(:any)'] = properties/view/$1
