Codeigniter routes not working, possibly because of internationalization? - php

Question

Working on codeigniter project.
Got stuck with routes.
I want to access en/company/login through en/login, so how do I define routes then?
Right now routes code looks like this:
// URI like '/en/about' -> use controller 'about'
$route['^(en|lv)/(.+)$'] = "$2";
// '/en', '/lv' URIs -> use default controller
$route['^(en|lv)$'] = $route['default_controller'];
$route['company/login'] = "login";
tried:
$route['^(en|lv)/company/login'] = "login";
Obviously, Im not getting something.
Can you help please?

Answer 1

Your problem is (i had the same) that this:
$route['^(en|lv)/(.+)$'] = "$2";
overrides your rule for:
$route['^(en|lv)/company/login'] = "login";
Try this:
$route['^(en|lv)\/(company)\/(.+)$'] = "login";
Maybe it should help you to override the first pattern
And if not, edit the first pattern to this:
$route['^(en|lv)\/(?!company).+$'] = "$2";

Answer 2

$route["(en|fr|gr)/(:any)/login"] = "login/index/$1";
--
public function index($company)
{
$language = strtolower($this->uri->rsegments[3]);
if(!in_array($language, ['en', 'fr'])){
// set a default language
// if the route does not provide a valid one
$language = 'en';
}
// Load the language file for the selected language
// for example english, language/en/en_lang.php
$this->lang->load($language, $language);
}
Thank you for your answer, but it seems that I didnt explain that
/company/ is controller and /login/ is "company" function. Your
solution wont work for me. :/
// The $route should contain the uri,
// you seem to have them mixed up.
// $route['uri'] = "controller/method"
$route['(en|lv)/login'] = 'company/login';
