how to implement dynamic "routes"?

[eluser]drewbee[/eluser]
Like we were suggesting earlier, do something like this:

Create a form along with a search id (note: search_id should be within the valid CI allowed_characters).

This form accepts the values of search_id, and the search query string.

From the form, insert search_id, and search_query_string into the database.

So now we have as an example in our table:

Code:

search_id (varchar) | search_query_string (text)
custom_search_1 | VON=1221602400&BIS=1225148400&RA=2&KA1=18&KA2=18&KA3=18&VA=0&ZA=0&DAUER=0,0&PREIS=0,0

So the user can go to
http://www.example.com/controller/method...m_search_1 and with a simple database query pull in search_query_string belonging to 'custom_search_1' as passed to method of controller.

No hooks, no hacks. I feel you are trying to make this more complex then what it needs to be. Each user can create there own mapping with this as well.

This is how I would do it, plus you get to maintain CI's security of the character requirement in the URI.

I apologize if I am not understanding your requirements better, or if I can better explain this let me know!
