news story titles in urls

[eluser]LittleBop[/eluser]
Hi,

actually I do it like this (I'm a beginner, so, it's not sure that this is the best way to answer your problem)

routes.php

Code:

$route['yourcontroller/([0-9]+)(_[a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?'] = "yourcontroller/yourshowingmethod/$1";

And, on my views:

Code:

<?=anchor("yourcontroller/".$row->id."_".url_title($row->title), $row->title)?>

Examples :
yourcontroller/ -> list of elements
yourcontroller/5 -> element with id = 5
yourcontroller/5_my-title -> element with id = 5 with its title on the URL
yourcontroller/5_a-fake-title -> works too and get element with id = 5 too but not really matter

I wish I answer your question...
