This is the view for showing up all the news.

Code:

<?php foreach ($news as $news_item): ?>

    <h2>&lt;?php echo $news_item['title'] ?&gt;</h2>
    <div id="main">
        &lt;?php echo $news_item['text'] ?&gt;
    </div>
    <p><a href="news/&lt;?php echo $news_item['slug'] ?&gt;">View article</a></p> //this is the line that produces the link to view the specific post

&lt;?php endforeach ?&gt;

[quote author="CroNiX" date="1344446041"]Why add the trailing slash anyway? It doesn’t provide any benefit unless something comes after.[/quote]

I was just trying to figure out why it behaves that way. [/quote]

Actually has Nothing to do with codeigniter. That's how paths work.

Change this

Code:

<a href="news/&lt;?php echo $news_item['slug'] ?&gt;">View article</a>

to This

Code:

<a href="&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;news/&lt;?php echo $news_item['slug'];?&gt;">View article</a>

It's always good practice to use base_url or site_url because this saves a lot of problems.
