Need help with some structure problems.

Hi!

Im pretty new to both codeigniter and the mvc concept so be gentle.

I will try to explain my problem as detailed as i can.

Let say i im building a blog, and my admin part of the site is controlled by my controller named admin.

In my admin controller i have a function called posts, so my url to posts would be www.example.com/admin/posts/.

Here comes my problem, when i are editing or adding a post i would like url to be www.example.com/admin/posts/edit/"id number".

I could just fix it bye creating a new function in my admin controller called "edit_posts" and url would be www.example.com/admin/edit_posts/"id number", but that is not what i want.

And i cant create a function called posts/edit() and i cant create a function called edit() in my posts() controller.


How can i solve this problem?

Hi and welcome, read up on Routes in the userguide.

With routes you can do all of the above and more...

Thnx that did the trick !


But now i ran in to another problem.

I have two menus a topmenu and a sub menu, and i have an if statement that looks like this.

Code:

<li&lt;?php if($this->uri->segment(2) == $link_name) {echo class='selected'} ?&gt;>&lt;?php echo $link_name; ?&gt;</li>

It works just fine as long as i have pressed my links so the uri segemnt is set, but for example on my index page the uri segment issent set.

I thougt i just could do something like this but i dident work.

Code:

<?php if (!isset($this->uri->segment(2))) {$this->uri->sgement(2) = "start"} ?>

Any idea how i can fix this ?

I think isset($this->uri->segment(2)) is always true, even if it is empty

if you go with empty($this->uri->segment(2)) you will get the right value

Code:

<?php if( (!empty($this->uri->segment(2))?$this->uri->segment(2):'start') == $link_name) {echo class='selected'} ?>
