Extracting Web Application - El Forum - 04-01-2008
[eluser]kerell78us[/eluser]
I have purchased a web application that was developed with CI. I would like to user Query String URLs with the parameter of the query string varying, e.g. ?user=1255454, ?article=1545 etc. I have noticed that CI is able to facilitate Query String URLs, but not in the way I would like to user them.
As a result, I am wondering whether it is possible to extract the application logic from CI?

CodeIgniter application logic is far too complex to be extracted. Especially today

There may be other ways to handle this. Are you certain you need to use query strings?

Hey webthink:
Certainly, I do need to use Query String Urls, any assistance in the regard would be welcomed.

There are a few hack on the forum that don't change the $_GET global. What do you mean when you write

My understanding from CI User Guide is that to use its Query Strings I need to set the following:
$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;
$config['controller_trigger'] = 'c';
$config['function_trigger'] = 'm';
To mean this means that I'll always be stuck with using:
www.example.com/index.php?c=articles&m=new.
What I need is to be able to use it differently
www.example.com/index.php?news=politics&elections=democrats
www.example.com/index.php?group=123456&events=campaign&user=12345
Hence my request!

If you didn't have a controller or action (c,m) where would the code to handle www.example.com/index.php?group=123456&events=campaign&user=12345 go?
ie. You've obtained a group, an event and a user how do you then do anything useful with that information?

Forget all that rubbish, The $_GET values are available via $this->imput->get(), just make sure the controller/method is in the segments prior to the query_string

Because CI is based on the pathinfo url syntax, query string urls are a bit left in the cold. I guess you want the www.example.com/index.php?news=politics&elections=democrats url linked to the news controller with the method elections and the values are additional parameters.
I'm don't think routing works with query strings otherwise you could do something like this
Code:
$route['news=[a-z]+?&elections;=[a-z]+'] = "c=news&m=elections&newsgroup;=$1&electiongroup;=$2"If you want to use your own routing you can replace the router and uri library to make the query string urls work the way you want.
