Help Remaping to Index function

[eluser]benners[/eluser]
I currently have to include the index in the URL to pass the parameter to the index function. http://localhost/gallery/index/74

I've tried the follow with http://localhost/gallery/74 and it seems to be ok for the Index function but it doesn't remap to other functions in the Gallery Controller.

Code:

public function _remap($method, $params = array())
{
echo "method: $method<br />";
print_r($params);
$params2 = array_slice($this->uri->rsegment_array(), 0);
print_r($params2);
$method = $params2[0];

if ($method == 'gallery')
{
  $this->index($params2[1]);
} else {
  $this->default_method(); // This does not show default method
}
}

Code:

public function _remap($method, $params = array())
{
     $method = 'process_'.$method;
     if (method_exists($this, $method))
     {
         return call_user_func_array(array($this, $method), $params);
     }
     show_404();
}

Could you clarify this code please? I've commented a line below and it works for all methods except if index has a parameter. E.g. http://localhost/gallery/74. (I don't understand the purpose of 'process_')

Code:

public function _remap($method, $params = array())
  {
  // $method = 'process_'.$method;
   if (method_exists($this, $method))
   {
    return call_user_func_array(array($this, $method), $params);
   }
   show_404();
  }

This is where "routes" come into play.

Within your routes.php file, you can do

Code:

$route['gallery/(:num)'] = 'gallery/index/$1';
$route['gallery'] = 'gallery/index';

That way, both 'localhost/gallery' and 'localhost/gallery/74' will work.

I've changed my routes for Gallery to:

Code:

$route['gallery/(:num)'] = 'gallery/index/$1';
$route['gallery'] = 'gallery';
$route['gallery/(:any)'] = 'gallery/$1';

And I've removed the _remap code and it works fine. It's looks like the remap code is nolonger needed.

I'm not sure why you'd use the third line, since gallery is already mapped.

If you had an action called "view" within your gallery file, 'localhost/gallery/view/1' would work fine without your 'gallery/(:any)' route.

Your routes should be in order from most to least specific. Put your (:any) rule above the gallery by itself rule.
