I've this in my config/routes.php:
$route['music/artist/(:any)'] = "music/artist/index/$1";
I've an artist controller inside controller/music/ and index method.
So if I go to browser with domain.com/music/artist/michael then with the following line in controller I can get the data michael.
$this->uri->segment(3);
Please correct me if I'm wrong but here's the real question.
Now I want to have this on link.
domain.com/music/artist/michael/video/beat-it/
I want to have a video function inside the artist controller and inside I want to get the dynamic data, michael and beat-it.
So the routes config I've these:
$route['music/artist/(:any)'] = "music/artist/index/$1";
$route['music/artist/(:any)/video/(:any)'] = "music/artist/video/$1/$2";
If I go to the video link it seems it just hit the index function.
How can I make the video link work?
Routes will run in the order they are defined. Higher routes will always take precedence over lower ones.
Switch the places of routes. Most specific routes need to be parsed first because (:any) placeholder would take anything there.
$route['music/artist/(:any)/video/(:any)'] = "music/artist/video/$1/$2";
$route['music/artist/(:any)'] = "music/artist/index/$1";

I have searched everywhere but i can't find appropriate result. I want to remove controller_name from every url of the site. My codeigniter is installed in subfolder of domain.
For Example:
www.site_name.com/subfolder/controller_name/any_method_name
I have only one controller from which i am calling all the methods.
I have learned that i have to do some changes in routes but i think that is only for one url. so, how to remove for every url.
Not sure if this works but you could try adding this in your application\config\routes.php:
$route['([a-z]+)'] = 'controller_name/$1';
The documentation https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/general/routing.html#regular-expressions
Here, I am answering my own question. I have solved this problem by following solution.
Suppose, my controller name is users, then the answer is:
$route['^(:any)(/:any)?$'] = "users/$0";
This removes controller name from every url of the website.
Codeigniter support two types of routing rules
1)Wildcards
2)Regular Expressions
I prefer Wildcards
in routes just place this one
$route['login/(:any)'] = "v1/login";
A URL with "login" as the first segment, and anything in the second will be remapped to the "v1" class and the "login" method.
means your change www.abc.com/login instead of www.abc.com/v1/login
check it once routing in codeigniter here https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/general/routing.html .......
I have two different controllers which I want to route to the same URL.
For example,
$route['dashboard/(:any)'] = 'admin/crud/$1';
$route['dashboard/(:any)'] = 'admin/dashboard/$1';
But this is causing 404 errors.
I guess there is some issue with the :any wildcard.
Is there an alternative to use?
CodeIgniter doesn't map controllers to URLs, it maps URLs to controllers. See URI Routing.
You are trying to map two same exact URLs to go to different places. This doesn't make sense.
Also, since $route is just an associative array, you are overwriting the value instead of adding an additional route.
$route['dashboard/(:any)'] = 'admin/crud/$1';
$route['dashboard/(:any)'] = 'admin/dashboard/$1'; //Immediately over writes the previous value
So, it looks like you just have a problem with the second route:
$route['dashboard/(:any)'] = 'admin/dashboard/$1';
Since, admin is the folder, double check that the value being passed in by the route actually is a method in your dashboard controller class.
Also, check out this question and accepted answer: routing controllers in sub folders - codeigniter I think it provides an example of what you are attempting to do.
I have pages that are generated from a database, based on the URI. Functons as it should, however I can't set-up my routes to eliminate the controller and function from the URL.
$route['studios/(:any)'] = 'studios/location/$1';
Right now, I have the route to show the controller name and the URI variable (whatever that may be). However, I want to eliminate the controller name as well and just display the URI variable that's called as the URL. Hard to explain - hopefully someone picks up my drift...
Current URL would be: domain.com/studios/studio1
But I want to just display: domain.com/studio1
I tried $route['/(:any)'] = 'studios/location/$1';, but that's messing up my entire site.
Help?
$route['studios(/:any)*'] = 'studios/location';
This route will force everything from studios on to studios/location. You can then access any of the parameters using URI segments:
$id = $this->uri->segment(2);
If your URL was somewhere.com/studios/location/2, $id would resolve to 2
However, since you want it to just be from the root on, you will have to put your override route at the bottom of the routes file so it is assessed last:
// all other routes here. Which must be specifically
// defined if you want a catch all like the one you mentioned
$route['(:any)'] = 'studios/location';
Alternatively, if you want a high maintenance site, you can specify a collection of routes like so:
$route['(studio1|studio2|studio3)'] = 'studios/location/$1';
how is it "messing up your site"?
In any case, you should not have the / before (:any)
Just:
$route['(:any)'] = 'studios/location/$1';
EDIT:
BEFORE the $route['(:any)'], you'll need to specify routes fro all your controllers; this is pretty normal, don't know if I'd call it "high maintenance", but you'll need to decide
I think this is a route issue but I'm not sure. I have a page with this URL:
siteurl.com/kowmanger/titles/titles/edit/$id
I'm trying to find out that when I'm on this page I load the titles page it says page not found so I need to tell it that the $id is just a paramter so I can use it to get the data of the title.
UPDATE :
So I decided to change my titles controller so that there's a edit and add function inside of the titles controller that way they dont' have separate controllers when they are in fact methods.
So now I have:
kansasoutalwwrestling.com/kowmanager/titles/titles - list of titles
kansasoutalwwrestling.com/kowmanager/titles/titles/add - addnew form
kansasoutalwwrestling.com/kowmanager/titles/titles/edit/$id - edit form
I don't have any routes set up so far for this. For some reason though I"m getting the same page for both of these page.
kansasoutalwwrestling.com/kowmanager/titles/titles/add - addnew form
(right link url) kansasoutalwwrestling.com/kowmanager/titles/add -
addnew form
I need a route so that it'll show the correct url if the add method is accessed.
Also I need to set up a route so that if the correct edit link is accessed it sees the id attached to the end of the url and it'll accept it so that I can do a my database query to get the title data.
UPDATE: So to reiterate I have a module(subfolder) called titles. Inside of the module I have a controller called titles and inside of that controller I have 3 functions called index(), add(), edit().
I tried using Chris's suggestion on the routes but its not routing correctly. Also wanted to mention I'm using wiredesignz modular separation framework if that matters.
Any additional ideas?
Possible answer based on your post, not one hundred percent your entire structure but if i had to guess based off the post I would try this as my routes first..
$route['titles/titles/edit/(:any)'] = 'titles/titles/edit/$1';
$route['titles/titles/add'] = 'titles/titles/add';
$route['titles/titles'] = 'titles/titles';
$route['titles'] = 'titles/index';
Are you using custom routing in your configuration files ?
The general routing protocol used by codeigniter is like this:
domain.com/controller/methode/param1/param2/param3
This being said, your url
siteurl.com/kowmanger/titles/titles/edit/$id
corresponds to something like this :
class Kownmanger extends CI_Controller
{
public function titles($titles, $action, $id)
{
}
}
In case you are using sub-folders in your controllers folder, what I have just said will change, Could you please tell us what's your directory structure ?
I have a problem with Codeigniter routes. I would like to all registered users on my site gets its own "directory", for example: www.example.com/username1, www.example.com/username2. This "directory" should map to the controller "polica", method "ogled", parameter "username1".
If I do like this, then each controller is mapped to this route: "polica/ogled/parameter". It's not OK:
$route["(:any)"] = "polica/ogled/$1";
This works, but I have always manually entered info in routes.php:
$route["username1"] = "polica/ogled/username1";
How do I do so that this will be automated?
UPDATE:
For example, I have controller with name ads. For example, if you go to www.example.com/ads/
there will be listed ads. If you are go to www.example.com/username1 there are listed ads by user username1. There is also controller user, profile, latest,...
My Current routes.php:
$route['oglasi'] = 'oglasi';
$route['(:any)'] = "polica/ogled/$1"
$route['default_controller'] = 'domov';
$route['404_override'] = '';
I solved problem with this code:
$route['oglasi/(:any)'] = 'oglasi/$1';
$route['(:any)'] = "polica/ogled/$1"
$route['default_controller'] = 'domov';
$route['404_override'] = '';

The problem with your route is that by using :any you match, actually...ANY route, so you're pretty much stuck there.
I think you might have two solutions:
1)You can selectively re-route all your sites controller individually, like:
$route['aboutus'] = "aboutus";
$route['where-we-are'] = "whereweare";
//And do this for all your site's controllers
//Finally:
$route['(:any)'] = "polica/ogled/$1";
All these routes must come BEFORE the ANY, since they are read in the order they are presented, and if you place the :any at the beginning it will happily skip all the rest.
EDIT after comment:
What I mean is, if you're going to match against ANY segment, this means that you cannot use any controller at all (which is, by default, the first URI segment), since the router will always re-route you using your defined law.
In order to allow CI to execute other controllers (whatever they are, I just used some common web pages, but can be literally everything), you need to allow them by excluding them from the re-routing. And you can achieve this by placing them before your ANY rule, so that everytime CI passed through your routing rules it parses first the one you "escaped", and ONLY if they don't match anything it found on the URL, it passes on to the :ANY rule.
I know that this is a code verbosity nonetheless, but they'll surely be less than 6K as you said.
Since I don't know the actual structure of your URLs and of your web application, it's the only solution that comes to my mind. If you provide further information, such as how are shaped the regular urls of your app, then I can update my answer
/end edit
This is not much a pratical solution, because it will require a lot of code, but if you want a design like that it's the only way that comes to my mind.
Also, consider you can use regexes as the $route index, but I don't think it can work here, as your usernames are unlikely matchable in this fashion, but I just wanted to point out the possibility.
OR
2) You can change your design pattern slightly, and assign another route to usernames, something along the line of
$route['user/(:any)'] = "polica/ogled/$1";
This will generate quite pretty (and semantic) URLs nonetheless, and will avoid all the hassle of escaping the other routes.

I was struggling with this same problem very recently. I created something that worked for me this way:
Define a "redirect" controller with a remap method. This will allow you to gather the requests sent to the contoller with any proceeding variable string into one function. So if a request is made to http://yoursite/jeff/ or http://yoursite/jamie it won't hit those methods but instead hit http://yoursite/ remap function. (even if those methods/names don't exist and even if you have an index function, it supersedes it). In the _Remap method you could define a conditional switch which then works with the rest of your code re-directing the user any way you want.
You should then define this re-direct controller as the default one and set up your routes like so:
$route['(.*)'] = "redirect/index/$1";
$route['default_controller'] = "redirect";
This is at first a bit of a problem because this will basically force everything to be re-directed to this controller no matter what and ultimately through this _remap switch.
But what you could do is define the rules/routes that you don't want to abide to this condition above those route statements.
i.e
$route['myroute'] = "myroute";
$route['(.*)'] = "redirect/index/$1";
$route['default_controller'] = "redirect";
I found that this produces a nice system where I can have as many variable users as are defined where I'm able to redirect them easily based on what they stand for through one controller.
Another way would be declaring an array with your intenal controllers and redirect everything else to the user controller like this in your routes.php file from codeigniter:
$controllers=array('admin', 'user', 'blog', 'api');
if(array_search($this->uri->segment(1), $controllers)){
$route['.*'] = "polica/ogled/$1";
}
