Lovely User URLS (http://domain.net/~Username)

[quote author="Dyllon" date="1232421660"]I had to do this a while ago, I didn't want to use URL suffixes so I extended the CI Router as follows

application/libraries/My_Router.php

Code:

class MY_Router extends CI_Router {

    function MY_Router()
    {
        parent::CI_Router();
    }

    function _validate_request($segments)
    {
        // Does the requested controller NOT exist?
        if (!file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$segments[0].EXT))
        {
            $segments = array("users","profile",$segments[0]);
            
        }
    }
    return parent::_validate_request($segments);
}

[/quote]

So that is basically the same, just another code. I guess I'll have to auto-load the library, right? And then it would work if my controller is named users, and function profile.
