$this->uri->segment(n)

[eluser]rossmurphy[/eluser]
I have set up a template controller that grabs the 3rd segement using

Code:

$this->uri->segment(3)

My url looks like this

Code:

http://localhost/content/page/customersupport

I then take the segment and call a view. Is there anyway to exclude the method so it doesnt show up in my url as page?

What exactly do you mean?

So it could look like:

localhost/content/customersupport

???

I had a similar question that was answered here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/123268/

You'd probably just need to play with your routes configuration.

Hi,

Add the below line into your routes.php file to make this work

Code:

$routes['content/:any']='content/page/$1';

Happy Coding

Thanks designfellow, works really well. Wondering though, i've been reading the routes user guide and it says this

Code:

$route['product/(:num)'] = "catalog/product_lookup_by_id/$1";

Will pass whatever variable come after the product_looup_by_id in the function. So i set it up and i get $1 being passed into the method. Any ideas? Also, is this correct? or should i be using $this->segment to get the var instead of passing into method.

Cheers
