Routing vs Wrapper functions

[eluser]meigwilym[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm building a site for my Rugby Club.

The site is in two parts: info about the club (history etc), and info about the teams (scores, fixtures, match reports etc).

So I have two controllers with functions like this:

Code:

Club
  /index
  /more/id

Team
  /info/teamid  # team homepage
  /fixtures/teamid
  /match-reports/reportid

In my search for prettier URLs (e.g. team/first/fixtures), I think I have two choices: Routing or wrapper functions in the classes.

Code:

$route['team/first'] = 'team/info/1';

# or...

function first(){
  return $this->info(1);
}

So my question is, which is the better way? Is there a difference?

Many thanks,

Mei

Personally, I prefer the second approach. It allows you to keep the routing within the controller. Other people might see things differently however.

Me too. It also allows me to stay in the controllers directory, and saves me from having to mess about in the config files.
