Hello there,
You must use your Routes file under Config. Please look for it. And let me give you an example :
1) $route['user-area'] = 'site/user_area';
the left of the "=" is the url which the visitor will visit/see, the right part is your component. My component name is "site" here.
Example :
PHP Code:
public function user_area(){
$this->load->view('admin/user_area');
}
2)$route['user-area/:num()'] = 'site/user_area/$1';
What is
:num() ? It means any number following user-area/. Because this page is for my "users personal page" depending on their
ID. And ID is a number.
3)
$route['user-area/:any()'] = 'site/user_area/$1';
any means anything : text or number..
Plus, when you need to see a specific page of any product or user you will follow the url. So that you can get its/his slug.
Watch here: www. mysite.com/about-me the slug is : about me. So, how to take it?
$the_slug = $this->uri->segment(1);
So then, when you go to Models to retrieve any data you will use this parameter:
Example for getting slug for Component and Model
Controller:
PHP Code:
public function about (){
$the_slug = $this->uri->segment(1);
$this->load->model('Backend_Model);
$data['informations'] = $this->Backend_Model->about_pages($the_slug);
$this->load->view('about-me', $data); // in your about_me file you will use "informations" to show the datas.
}
Model :
PHP Code:
public function about_pages($the_slug) {
$query = $this->db->select('*')
->from('pages')
->where('page_slug', $the_slug)
->get()
->row();
return $query;
}
Good Luck.
