Sorry for the maybe confusing title, but had to come up with something describing the situation right? :p

So i just started learning CI and like everyone i started making a blog looking at the tutorial and than adjusting it too how i code. I like my urls clean and starting with the id first so thats what im going for, something like http://example.com/blog/3434/this-is-my-title-of-this-blog/ so started using the htacces, got it working, and started using the routes wich is working. Now whenever i call the blog using blog/3434/ it works fine, but whenever the url has the title in it, it gives me a 404 page.

Controller

Code:

class Blog extends CI_Controller {

    function index() {
       $this->load->model('blog_model');
       $this->load->helper('url');
       $this->load->helper('text');
       $data['rows'] = $this->blog_model->showBlogs();
       $this->load->view('blogs/blog_view', $data);
    }
    
    function view() {
        $this->load->model('blog_model');
        $data['rows'] = $this->blog_model->showSingleblog();
        $this->load->view('blogs/blog_singleview', $data);
    }
}

The specific model

Code:

function showSingleblog() {
        $query = 'SELECT title, author, date, content FROM blog WHERE id = ?';
        $blogid = $this->uri->segment(2);
        $q = $this->db->query($query, $blogid);

        if ($q->num_rows() > 0) {
            foreach ($q->result() as $row) {
                $data[] = $row;
            }
            return $data;
        }
    }

And the route

Code:

$route['blog/:num'] = "blog/view";

Tried all sorts of different searching terms on the forums and wiki but could not find anything, hope someone can help me with this.

edit: Sorry posted in the wrong forums, tought i was in the right one.

Im sorry i should have posted it, but i did actually already tried that, with and without en closing slash, but it does not solve up the problem.

Should be 3 not 2

Code:

// 1=controller - 2=view - 3 $1
$blogid = $this->uri->segment(3);

No its 2, because of the route file there is no view in the url.

Have you tried adding a parameter to the view function (and pass it to the model) rather than trying to use url segments?

Code:

class Blog extends CI_Controller {

    function index() {
       $this->load->model('blog_model');
       $this->load->helper('url');
       $this->load->helper('text');
       $data['rows'] = $this->blog_model->showBlogs();
       $this->load->view('blogs/blog_view', $data);
    }
    
    function view($blog_id) {
        $this->load->model('blog_model');
        $data['rows'] = $this->blog_model->showSingleblog($blog_id);
        $this->load->view('blogs/blog_singleview', $data);
    }
}

No i had not, i have tried it now but it still wont work when the title is in the url, without it works fine.

Are you using the title for anything other than 'clean urls'? Do you actually have a stub field in the db that you are querying against?
It doesn't appear to be so, which is why I am asking.

Code:

function view($blog_id, $blog_title) { //add $blog_title as parameter as well
    $this->load->model('blog_model');
    $data['rows'] = $this->blog_model->showSingleblog($blog_id);
    $this->load->view('blogs/blog_singleview', $data);
}

and maybe alter your $route

Code:

$route['blog/:num/:any'] = "blog/view";

The title is used for displaying on the page itself, as for the clean url. I now tried altering the route line as u suggested, which did the trick on his own, much appreciated of thinking allong with me on this one! I also removed the $blog_id from the the view function, because i did not quite understand it, but does a parameter in the view function also get passed allong from the url?
