General question: Seperate controller or a function???

[eluser]nelson.wells[/eluser]
I tend to break controllers down into logical structures that are easy to deal with. Controllers that hold a whole lot of functions like that can turn into a hairy mess really quick.

You can put the work and education into their own controller and still have the url structure you are going for because controller + function does not = url. Look into the routing functions, I think they are fairly simple. For example, you could do something like (and this is without testing)

$route["user_profile/(:any)/work"] = "work/index/$1";

What this would (hopefully) do is send a url http://www.domain.com/user_profile/jimmy05/work to the controller Work, the function index, and the parameter 'jimmy05' (a username).

Hope that helps.
