do you mind sharing the code(s) on how you solved this?

like what regex in the config file did you use?

what about the _remap?

I used following code:


I'm sure this can be done in a better way, but this is what I used:
Add following to your routes.php file

Code:

$route['([a-z]+)-([a-z]+)-([a-z]+)(.*)'] = "$1_$2_$3$4";
$route['([a-z]+)-([a-z]+)(.*)'] = "$1_$2$3";

in your controller, all following method:

Code:

function _remap($method)
    {
            $method = str_replace('-','_',$method);
            if(method_exists($this, $method))
            {
                $this->$method();
            }
            else
                show_404();
        
    }

while defining your methods, use underscores instead of dashes.
