Problems with Codeigniter HMVC subfolders

[eluser]Timothy_[/eluser]
Hello,

I have encountered an issue using subfolders with Codeigniter + HMVC.

Code:

/system/application/modules/welcome/controllers/staff/welcome.php

To access this I have to access it via http://www.app.com/welcome/staff/welcome

Unfortunately this doesn't fit the rest of my URL structure.

How can I remove the first welcome from the URL so the URL is http://www.app.com/staff/welcome

I have tried adding a route within the module:

Code:

/system/application/modules/welcome/config/routes.php

like:

Code:

$route['staff/welcome'] = "welcome/staff/welcome";

but unfortunately no luck.

Adding this route to the real codeigniter route file works but I feel that adding code external of the modules to get modules to work misses the point of adopting modularisation.

I hope someone is able to help.

Thanks,

Tim
