my system:
models:
category
brand
vehicle
controllers:
home
brand
category
vehicle
etc.
DB:
brand
id | name
category
id | name (enum car, truck, bike etc)
vehicle
id | model | id_brand | id_category
In the 'home' controller, the 'index' method list all brands. There is a link on each brand to 'brand/view/name'
The method 'view' of 'brand' controller shows brand's name and a list like this:
CAR | TRUCK | ANOTHERCATEGORY
total: 55 | total: 21 | total: 0
In a system like this, which is the best way to link each of these itens of the list to the 'vehicle' controller?
In regular php i would do like this:
vehicle.php?id_brand=x&id_category=y
I made it work like this on CI:
$route['brand/category/(:any)']='category/view/$1';
brand/category/honda/car
that's ok, but would be more intuitive if i could make URI look like:
brand/honda/category/car
and for vehicle controller:
brand/honda/category/car/vehicle/civic
i think i can create one controller(and turn it my default controller) and make a method for remap this URI, but is there any better option?
ps: sorry for bad english, its not my native language.
