redirect problem

[eluser]amalik[/eluser]
[code]Hi,

I am creating a website where I want my users to be able to create a portfolio if they use the following url www.mywebsite.com/amalik rather then www.mywebsite.com/portfolio/amalik. I used the _remap() function but not luck. Can anybody help please.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Check URI Routing in the user guide.

You can configure your own routing rules by modifying the application/config/routes.php file.

Hi Anders,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I am new to CI so I am a bit unsure. In routes.php I specified the default controller to look for the main class name which is home. How can I change it so I can pass a variable to the index() function available in the home class.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mauricio,

Thanks a lot for your help. That's working fine but only one problem I have many other functions and classes performing different tasks. Now after I implemented it its redirecting all my functions calls to the portfolio page for example if I try to go to the following page www.mywebsite.com/contact_us its redirecting me to portfolio page. Can you please help me how can I only redirect requests for the portfolio page to the portfolio/amalik page.

Thanks for your help in advance

Thanks

Ok.
I dont know how to do this, but.
In your apache config (httpd conf), your index page is "index.php", right?
I think you need to change it for "portfolio.php".
And change the route config.

Code:

$route['portfolio/(:any)'] = '/$1'

Change the .htaccess also.

Any help?

Thanks for your reply.
Just to explain my self I have a home class and that is my default controller. Home class have an index() function. By using this index function I am outputting the www.mywebsite.com page. I have another class that is called portfolio in that class I am using _remap() function to show the portfolio of the user when they enter www.mywebsite.com/portfolio/amalik. I want to some how make index page take a variable and try to search existing portfolio names if available then show the portfolio page if not then continue with the other functions.

Thanks,
amalik

Same scenario here.
If I understand correctly, mywebsite.com/username and mywebsite.com/portfolio/username should load same page.

I think that the only way is to use htaccess url masking, so mywebsite.com/username act as mywebsite.com/profile/username and at the same time you can continue to refer to "profile" controller, in your code.
Ideas?
