In 1.6.1 I've gotten wildcard urls to work. In fact, the following route, added last (except for 'default_controller' and 'scaffolding_trigger') solves the problem entirely
update: ...not quite - see next post. No need for the extended router.
update: yes there is, but it needs a slight mod
Code:
$route['([^/]+)'] = 'pages/read/$1';
It's entirely possible that this worked in my original version of CodeIgniter, and that I somehow just managed to mess up the code.
