routes issue - El Forum - 05-05-2008
[eluser]AtlantixMedia[/eluser]
Hello,
I'm having some issue getting routes to work.
Code:
$route['info/strategy/(.*)'] = "info/strategy/pick/$1";
class Strategy extends Controller {
//=======================
function Strategy()
//=======================
{
parent::Controller();
}
//=======================
function index()
//=======================
{
$this->Pick();
}
//=======================
function Pick($strategy = 'project-discovery')
//=======================
{
echo $strategy;
}
}the following url http://www.domain.com/info/strategy/sketches ( and any other url where only the last segment changes ) do not throw any error. however, the echo statement always echoes the string 'project-discovery' even though it should echo the string 'sketches'. am I missing something?

I can't vouch for it, but maybe it will work if you put single quotes around the target string of the route, like this:
Code:
$route['info/strategy/(.*)'] = 'info/strategy/pick/$1';routes issue - El Forum - 05-05-2008

no. it doesn't make any difference. also, the samples in the CI user guide use double quotes

also, if I comment the route out and use this url http://www.domain.com/info/strategy/pick/sketches to access the controller, the echo statement successfully prints 'sketches'

I guess http://www.domain.com/info is the basepath? As the name of the controller is Strategy. The routes start behind the index.php file if you hide it or not.

info is a folder
strategy is a controller
pick is a function
sketches is a parameter
I basically want to shorten the url so that users only see info/strategy/whatever

you have to capitalize pick in the route because the function is
Code:
$route['info/strategy/(.*)'] = "info/strategy/Pick/$1";

not really. I don't believe you have to capitalize functions to access them. anyway, I tried that but it still doesn't work!
$route['info/strategy/(.*)'] = "info/strategy/Pick/$1";

No you don't have to capitalize functions but because you did the function is only callable capitalized. I did have some problems with it anyway.
What is the output if you add to the pick function
Code:
echo $this->uri->segment(4)I think your problem has to do with the fact in your index function you call the pick function. I think you don't need routing if you do this
Code:
function index()
{
$this->Pick($this->uri->segment(3));

}hold on one second: I always capitalize functions in controllers but ALWAYS use lowercase in url when accessing them and it always worked.
echo $this->uri->segment(4) will print an empty string. on the other hand, 3 will print sketches, 2 strategy, and 1 info.
I also commented whatever is in the index function. still, it's not working. as I said, it does not throw any error. It just does not seem to pass any parameter, so the default one is used.
