Routes and Outside URL's

[eluser]Freewolf[/eluser]
Greetings all,

Can I use the routes file to redirect to a url rather than a controller. No appearing to work but wondering if there is something that can be adjusted to make it work.

If not, I am using wordpress for the blog and we need it to appear to be at www.domain.com/blog however that would put it in CI and how it handles the URL's. Any suggestions on how to make that work?

You can use a route that redirects to a controller function, and this, in turn, redirects to www.domain.com/blog with a header:

Code:

function redirect_to_blog
{
    header('Location: http://www.domain.com/blog');
}

This does not quite solve my problem. As once redirected the url is where the blog actually resides.

I want the URL seen by the end user to be

http://www.domain.com/blog

How do I do this when inside the CodeIgniter frame work?
