|---Categories--| //Reviews, News, Tutorials, etc. When viewing the "news" category, url would be mysite.com/pages/news ---- function is called "category" and lists all subcategories that fall under this category.

SubCategories(subCategoryID, categoryID) //Under a category such as reviews: Xbox 360, PS3, etc... url would be mysite.com/pages/reviews/xbox-360 ---- function is called "subcategory" and lists all the pages under that subcategory.

Pages(pageID, subCategoryID) //News articles, xbox 360 reviews, etc... url would be mysite.com/pages/reviews/xbox-360/halo-3 ---- function is called "view" and would display the entire page.
Above is a tree I created that would explain how my tables and urls are linked. I currently do not have it set up correctly which is why i'm posting this. all of the above urls are contained in a controller called pages.
These page titles are all powered by databases, so I can't just make a route that reroutes pages/news to pages/category, but it would be pages/category that I would be routing to. This is my current routes config file:
Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "main";
$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";
$route['register/activate/:any'] = 'register/activate';
$route['logout'] = 'main/logout';
/*$route['pages/news'] = 'pages/category';
$route['pages/news/:any'] = 'pages/subcategory';
$route['pages/reviews'] = "pages/category";
$route['pages/reviews/:any'] = "pages/subcategory";
$route['pages/tutorials'] = "pages/category";
$route['pages/tutorials/:any'] = "pages/subcategory";*/
$route['pages/:any'] = "pages/category";
$route['pages/:any/(:any)'] = "pages/subcategory'";
You can see how I had done it prior to using the pages/:any. I can't do it that way because everytime a new category is created, I would have to create a new route.
Hopefully I've explained my situation well enough for you to answer. Thanks for your time.
