How to set default controller for sub-directory in controllers

[eluser]gunnarflax[/eluser]
Hi! I have a multilevel-directory structure of my controllers directory. The user guide says that this is fully possible, all I have to do is set a default controller for the sub-dir in the config. The thing is that there is only one key called 'default_controller' and I can't find anywhere how the extra default controller should be named. What should I call it? And how do I need to configure my routes?

Thanks!

Would you not put the next parameter of default_controller in the controller you loaded.

So that when the first controller is loaded it will then load another?

Don't think so. The default controller functions in the way that if the url doesn't contain any url-segment for the controller it loads the default one. So if my folder structure is like this:

Code:

-- controllers
----- subdir (folder)
-------- admin
----- home
----- blog

and the url looks like this:

Code:

http://www.example.com/

it will load the default controller set by me:

Code:

$config['default_controller'] = 'home';

So every subdirectory should have a default controller or else if I type in this url:

Code:

http://www.example.com/subdir/

I still get the controller 'home'. So to not have to write:

Code:

http://www.example.com/subdir/admin/

I must set a default controller for the subdirectory as well and configure my routes (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...subfolders). But I do not know how. Any ideas?

I do this by...

In routes.php

Code:

$route['subdir'] = 'subdir/admin';
$route['subdir/(:any)'] = 'subdir/$1';

Thanks! That did wonders!
