Routing or remap

I have the controller "profiles" and I want the URI "/profile/1" to map to "/profiles/view/1" also "/property/1" should map to "/properties/view/1. I want to do this for all my controllers so is there a way of writing a general rules in the routes file or via remap so that the singular of the class name followed by a slash and a number routes to the class name followed by "/view/" and the number?

You can setup routes, or you can use a MY_Controller with a _remap function and extend your controller from your MY_Controller.

Create MY_Controller.php in ./application/core

PHP Code:

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

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
 
    public function __construct() {
        log_message('debug', "Class MY_Controller Initialized.");
 
        parent::__construct();
    }
 
    public function _remap($method) {
        // Check if the method is available
        if( method_exists($this, $method) ) {
            $this->{$method}();
        } else {
            // Method is your arg value for the view method
            $this->view($method);
        }
    }

} 


Now to use this just extend your controllers from MY_Controller instead of CI_Controller

PHP Code:

class Your_Controller extends MY_Controller {

} 


Thank you for your response.

The problem I experience now is that the controller "profile" does not exist, it is actually named "profiles". As such, the url "/profile/1" gives me a 404 page not found message but the url "/profiles/1" can then be handled by the _remap function...Any ideas?

Ah, I misread that in your original post. Then you should set it with routes.

Add routes to the routes.php file in ./application/config

PHP Code:

/* Route a url with profile as the first segment to the method view in the
 * controller profiles passing in the match as a variable to the method.
 * (:any) will match anything in the second segment
 * use (:num) to only match numbers
 */
$route['profile/(:any)'] = profiles/view/$1
$route['property/(:any)'] = properties/view/$1 


try this library...
