Hide controller name

[eluser]Dauntless[/eluser]
Hi,

How can I hide the controller name?

Fe, I have the site http://www.mydomain.com which has a main controller: 'main'. I don't want the people to have to go to mydomain.com/main/contact (fe), but just mydomain/contact (since 'main' is the controller that represents the main site).

I've already hidden the index.php through htaccess. I'm guessing I have to look at the routing options? Any help would be grate

Greets!

Use the routing feature is the only way..... Ciao

see the user guide, u'll get everything about routing.

u should do something like this

Code:

$route['NameYouWantUserToSee'] = 'YourController/Function';

[eluser]Dauntless[/eluser]
That would mean that I would have to create a route entry for every method I have. Isn't there a way so that I can say:

"If the first segment isn't main or admin, place 'main' in front of segments" ?

Try this one

$route['admin(.*)'] = 'admin$1'; // Anything that starts with 'admin' remains the same
$route['(.*)'] = 'main/$1'; // Anything else is redirected to main/..

That seems to do a pretty good job, Thanks!!

(Although I did have to add one line, so that links with 'main' already in it, stay the same. It's the same as the admin - line, but adjusted for 'main').

What kind of technique is this exactly? Are these regex's ? If not, this technique should be added to the routing-documentation...

Thanks!

jajajaj the "weird" technique is nothing else but a simple regex.

URI Routing

Although it's documented, It doesn't specify that whatever rules you set must match the ENTIRE uri string since the rule is appended between ^ and $ (begin and end symbols)
