you can do that, but you would need to either setup a route for it in your routes config file, or add another function to your page class named about-us, or add a _remap function.

routes example (I believe that should do it, although I may be wrong):

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "page";

$route['page/:any/:any'] = "page/pages/$2";

about-us example:

Code:
function about-us($page) {

    $this->pages($page); //no need to copy / paste the code, just call the function that has it

}

_remap (I personally don't use this a lot, but you can read about it here)

Thanks for the reply.

Aaaah so in my Pages Controller, I should have functions for all my 'directories' like 'about-us','services' etc?

Great, I will test this example out in a second if you're not rushing off Smile

Thanks again

If you want something other than "pages" to display in the url (like your about-us), then yes, you would need any one of the options i listed above, since you would be altering the default behavior of CI (domain.tld/controller/method/params).

Just a headsup.

I don't think CodeIgniter likes the hyphen in about-us.

Any way to fix this, or should I just go with aboutus instead?

[eluser]theprodigy[/eluser]
you could change the hyphen to an underscore, but I'm not sure why CI would have a problem with the hyphen. What error is it throwing?

Brilliant!

Ive temp changed about-us to aboutus in my Page controller.

Think I'm almost there with this.

However, when I visit:
http://www.site.com/index.php/page/aboutus/location

I'm getting these 3 error messages:

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined index: title

Filename: controllers/page.php

Line Number: 23

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined index: title

Filename: views/public_page.php

Line Number: 10

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined index: body

Filename: views/public_page.php

Line Number: 11

Any ideas what may be causing this?

[eluser]theprodigy[/eluser]
those errors are coming from your views. It sounds like you are trying to access indexes in an array that don't exist.

Do you want me to post my current Model / Controller / View code for the Pages area of my site?

Really appreciate all your help with this, feel like I'm making a great dent in this so far.

Controller

Code:
&lt;?php

class Page extends Controller {

  function Page(){

    parent::Controller();

    session_start();

  }

  function index(){

    // say 'home' is the value of the slug in my sql table

    $data['page_data'] = $this->MPages->getPageBySlug('home');

    $data['title'] = "Welcome";

    $data['main'] = 'public_home';

    $this->load->vars($data);

    $this->load->view('template');  

  }

  function aboutus($page) {

    $this->pages($page); //no need to copy / paste the code, just call the function that has it

  }

  function pages($slug){

    $data['page_data'] = $this->MPages->getPageBySlug($slug);

    $data['title'] = $data['page_data']['title'];

    $data['main'] = 'public_page';

    $this->load->vars($data);

    $this->load->view('template');  

  }

}

Model:

Code:
&lt;?php

class MPages extends Model{

    function MPages(){

        parent::Model();

    }

    function getPageBySlug($slug){

        $data = array();

        $this->db->where('slug',$slug);

        $this->db->limit(1);

        $Q = $this->db->get('pages');

        if ($Q->num_rows() > 0){

          $data = $Q->row_array();

        }

        $Q->free_result();    

        return $data;    

    }

}

Views:

Code:
&lt;?php

// public_page.php

echo auto_typography($post_data['title']);

echo auto_typography($post_data['body']);

Code:
// template.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt;

&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $title; ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;link href="/serconia/includes/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body class="twoColFixLtHdr"&gt;

<div id="container">

  <div id="header">

    <h1>&lt;?php echo $title;?&gt;</h1>

  </div>

  <div id="sidebar1">

    &lt;?php $this->load->view('nav'); ?&gt;

  </div>  

  <div id="mainContent">

   &lt;?php $this->load->view($main);?&gt;

  </div>

    <br class="clearfloat" style="clear:both" />

  <div id="footer">

  </div>

</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Many thanks for all your help again Smile
