Updated News Tutorial

Most of the problems are because they do not add the routes to the tutorial.

Hi,
       (i am not english native sorry for my english)

I have this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'public' (T_PUBLIC) in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1\eds-www\application\models\News_model.php on line 10
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Parsing Error
Message: syntax error, unexpected 'public' (T_PUBLIC)
Filename: models/News_model.php
Line Number: 10

Is my route bad  ??

This is my News_model.php

<?php
class News_model extends CI_Model {

        public function __construct()
        {
                $this->load->database();
        }
}

public function get_news($slug = FALSE)
{
        if ($slug === FALSE)
        {
                $query = $this->db->get('news');
                return $query->result_array();
        }

        $query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));
        return $query->row_array();
}

              My News.php

<?php

class News extends CI_Controller {

        public function __construct()
        {
                parent::__construct();
                $this->load->model('news_model');
                $this->load->helper('url_helper');
        }

        public function index()
        {
                $data['news'] = $this->news_model->get_news();
                $data['title'] = 'News archive';

               $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
               $this->load->view('news/index', $data);
               $this->load->view('templates/footer');
        }

        public function view($slug = NULL)
        {
                $data['news_item'] = $this->news_model->get_news($slug);
                if (empty($data['news_item']))
             {
                show_404();
              }

        $data['title'] = $data['news_item']['title'];

        $this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
        $this->load->view('news/view', $data);
        $this->load->view('templates/footer');
        }
}

                      My view.php

<?php
echo '<h2>'.$news_item['title'].'</h2>';
echo $news_item['text'];


                     My index.php

<h2><?php echo $title; ?></h2>

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

        <h3><?php echo $news_item['title']; ?></h3>
        <div class="main">
                <?php echo $news_item['text']; ?>
        </div>
        <p><a href="<?php echo site_url('news/'.$news_item['slug']); ?>">View article</a></p>

<?php endforeach; ?>

                     My routes.php

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

$route['news/(:any)'] = 'news/view/$1';
$route['news'] = 'news';

$route['(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1';
$route['default_controller'] = 'pages/view';

$route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';
$route['404_override'] = '';
$route['translate_uri_dashes'] = FALSE;

?>

The pages example run ok, aftaer that I set the rules for news before pages, but news do no run give me that parse error.

In database.php,   I add a final line becasue my Mysql has a 3308 port

$db['default']['port'] = 3308;
