CI's url 2nd segment as paramater/id/whatever but not function call

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
As mentioned in the title, is that possible?
i just want to simply shorten my site url by 1 segment as in "somesite.com/board/board_name" not "some_site.com/board/show/board_name"

You can use the router to achieve that.
Take a look http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...uting.html

Either routes or the _remap() function. Remap lets you change how the default controller/method/params are used in the controller.

In the file application/config/routes.php, AFTER the default_controller and 404_override routes, add this:

Code:

$route['board/board_name'] = 'board/show/board_name';
