User routing - El Forum - 06-06-2008

I have the following route rule:
Code:
$route['user/:any'] = "user/view";Which makes domain.com/user/username possible.
However, I'd like to be able to do: domain.com/user/username/rss, for example. Where rss is a method within the user controller (just as view is).
How can I accomplish this?

add:
$route['user/:any/rss'] = 'user/rss';
above the user/:any rule, I think

In the first place, and from an design perspective, it would be better to use domain.com/rss/username instead, otherwise, when your app grows, routing will get really complex, you will have to deal with domain.com/user/username/photos, domain.com/user/username/notes, domain.com/user/username/blog, all in the same controller, instead of photos/username, notes/username, blogs/username.
Anyway, if you still want to go with that design, you should avoid the routes option and use the _remap() function inside your controller, there you can intercept the request before the default method gets called and route it based on the username and "action" requested.
