Route with optional param is not working - harpreet - 06-06-2016
hello,
So I have routes like
PHP Code:
$route["admin/product/image/(:num)"]["delete"] = "product/deleteImage/$1";
http://localhost/PROJECT/admin/product/image
as a delete request should work. But it leads to 404. I have to pass the last param to make it work.
any help is appreciated.

this doesn't make any sense. are you really saying this is your url?
http://localhost/PROJECT/admin/product/image
how could that be a delete request when you are not specifying an id (number) to delete?
RE: Route with optional param is not working - kilishan - 06-07-2016
In your method definition, provide a null possibility for the argument and it should work for you:
Code:
function deleteImage($id = null)
{

The delete request also takes a URL to delete temp images that don't have ID yet.
BTW the solution was
PHP Code:
$route["admin/product/image/?(:num)?"]["delete"] = "product/deleteImage/$1";
to make parameter optional.
even though the functions is defined as
PHP Code:
public function deleteImage($imageId=0) {
$url = $this->sanitize->removeTags()->sanitize($this->commonlib->request("url"));
if(!empty($url)){
@unlink($this->config->item("temp_upload_dir").$url);
$this->commonlib->sendResponse(200, "Product Image Removed");
}
else{
}
}

I too thought that would work but it does not and am not sure why
another example with screenshot. Let me know if i am doing anything wrong.
