uri routing to index() - El Forum - 05-07-2008

The CI documents give the routing as
class/function/param/param/ etc.
Working on a new class, I noticed that I was getting a 404 Error with
/friends/pending/
friends is the controller class and pending is the parameter.
After puzzling with this a bit, I discovered CI apparently does not honor the routing convention for the index() function.
I didn't want a url like
friends/friends/pending
or
friends/browse/pending
Just
friends/
for the default listing and
friends/pending
for the pending listing.
I know that I can put the code into another function, browse() or friends() and specify a routing that does not mention the function name, but it seems strange that I can't pass a parameter to index().
Any ideas?

Look at the /config/routes.php (ant the user guide here: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html)
I'm sure you can make something like this:
Code:
$route['friends/:any'] = 'friends';Then on the friends/index controller, you could grab that "pending" as
Code:
$this->uri->segment(2);Good luck,

Appreciate the help. My current solution is to create a browse function
Code:
function browse() {}and get the parameter from
Code:
$this->uri->segment(3);with
Code:
$route['friends'] = "friends/browse";in routes to hide the existence of the browse function. I still do not know if this is compatible with the CI pagination library.
I wonder which method would fail more gracefully if someone forgot to specify the route? Depending on routing bugs me.
