Beginner Help - How to get domain.com/Dashboard/Campaign/ID/Contact/ID URI |
[eluser]joshlindsay[/eluser]
I'm building a system to manage my marketing campaigns and need to help on structure to achieve the following URI structure. Dashboard - List Campaigns Dashboard/Campaign - Add New Campaign Dashboard/Campaign/123 - View Campaign with ID 123 Dashboard/Campaign/123/Contact - View all Contacts for Campaign with 123 Dashboard/Campaign/123/Contact/34422 - View Contact with ID 34422 I've tried googling but not entirely sure what I'm searching for. It becomes confusing when a Do I have a single controller called Dashboard or can I have a Dashboard, Campaign and Contact controller? Any tips as to how you would structure this project would be much appreciated to get me on the right track.. Thank you.

[quote author="InsiteFX" date="1377275703"]Dashboard controller. Campaign controller and model, database table campaigns. Contact controller and model, database table contacts. [/quote] Excellent. That's what I've got so I'm on the right track. How do I get access to the Campaign and Contact controllers and functions from the Dashboard? Do I need to run a check to see if segment 4 (contact) is NULL - if so load Campaign if not load Contact? Is there a specific topic I should be researching to find my answers? Thanks

There are multiple ways of doing. Routes: CodeIgniter URI Routing URI Class using segments: CodeIgniter URI Class

Thank you. I had been reading about routes over the last week but couldn't figure out if it was what I needed. After seeing that was the correct way to go I've added the following to my routes config Code: $route['(:any)/contact'] = "contacts/addContact"; This achieves the following dashboard/campaign - adds new campaign dashboard/campaign/22 - views campaign 22 dashboard/campaign/22/contact - adds new contact to campaign 22 dashboard/campaign/22/contact/44 - views contact 44 from campaign 22 It does appear to be working however is this the best way to achieve my structure? Thanks InsiteFX for your assistance |
