Hi Bretticus
Thanks for your reply and assistance.
I believe I've cracked it now (it's actually working) but it's more a case of getting used to codeIgniter's way of doing things than anything else. I understand the MVC design pattern in theory but translating that into practice can be tricky!
The following sections indicate how my files are coded for the routes to work:
Routes.php
$route['world-travel-gallery'] = "gallery/index";
$route['sculpture-digital-media-creative-work-portfolio'] = "portfolio/load_portfolios/";
config.php (testing on localhost right now so URL is not too pretty!)
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/~name/project_sites/site_name/year/";
$config['index_page'] = "";
htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|javascript|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
I'm not sure where I may have been going wrong or if there is something I am fundamentally missing with any of the above. Guess that's why they call it a learning curve
Appreciate your time and suggestions. It's thanks to people like you that people like me can actually crack niggles like these!
