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'm relearning PHP and codeigniter but i can't help but notice how ugly my url looks.
So i have a pages controller: Say lets load homepage.
It would look like this:
public function home(){
$this->load->view('template/header');
$this->load->view('template/navbar');
$this->load->view('pages/home');
$this->load->view('template/footer');
}
I guess thats decent as my url will probably look like this:
http://localhost/ProjectName/index.php/pages/home
But whenever i click on a link that involves more data processing for example lets say my home has a list of users and i click on one to view their profile. I ofcourse have to pass something to identify which profile i am to load so my link would look like this:
http://localhost/OnlineStories/index.php/pages/view_userprofile/1
In my controller id have:
public function view_userprofile(){
$userid = $this->uri->segment(3);
//process data then load view
}
I'm not asking for any advanced stuff but i would like to ask simple things to improve my url like correct standard for naming my controller functions.
For example: on previous instances of loading my homepage my function name was view_home now its simply just home so its cleaner.
Maybe i could rename my view_userprofile to simply user_profile.
Anyway is there any better method to passing values from view to controller other than uri segment? its what ive been using so i never gave it much thought. I've seen some use get() but idk if its better than uri segment?
Or should i stick with the uri segment and keep my url as controller/method/parameter?
I haven't really explored post-project polishing in codeigniter so idk if theres a way to polish/change the url(just the name).
Talk about URL in CodeIgniter, you never mention about application/config/routes.php file. Have you seen it ..?
In routes.php file you can create your URL name and mapping it to the controller/function that you have
like this:
$route['user/update'] = 'user_controller/update_data_function'
so, you can call URL http://your.site/index.php/user/update to execute your update_data_function() in your User_controller.php
I'm trying to make my CodeIgniter application work similarly to WordPress.
I want to be able to make these kind of URLs:
http://www.example.com/my-post-example
http://www.example.com/new-headline-here
http://www.example.com/i-love-stackoverflow
My routing:
$route['(:any)'] = "core/index/$1";
Which will call my Core controller and pass the page name into the index function.
I then lookup in my database for the page name and display the page to the user. So far so good.
However, there will be times when I want to call another controller. For example:
http://www.example.com/admin/edit_page/3
http://www.example.com/admin/settings
Now I assume my route will just grab all these rules and send them into my Core controller. Is there a way to make an exception for certain pages? Or is it a good idea to do this check inside my Core controller.
For example,
if ($page not in DB) {
// Call controller/method
}
This seems a little redundant since I just want CodeIgniter to handle this.
The routing rule you using it is OK for your purpose.
If you use http://www.example.com/admin/edit_page/3 this link it will send you admin controller and edit_page method.It will not use routes any rule.
However you will get one problem if your link looks like this
http://www.example.com/my-post-example/test
It will try to go my-post-example controller and test method.
Again http://www.example.com/admin will use routes any rule, means it will redirect your to core controller instead of admin/index. In that case your url should be http://www.example.com/admin/index
Finally If you call your other link with controller/method name it will be OK using your any rule
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 am building a cms in codeigniter and i want to remove controller name and function name form the url and just print the alias.
I will be having two controllers one for static pages and other for blog posts with categories.
Please help, Suggestions reagrding modification of two controllers are also welcome.
You will need to override the default 404 controller in application/config/routes.php.
$route['404_override'] = 'content';
Any request that can't be mapped to a controller will be passed to the application/controllers/content.php controller
Your Content controller, or whatever you decide to call it, will parse the uri [$this->uri->segment(1)] and check for a matching reference in your CMS database.
If there is no match in the database, then you can look for a static view in the views folder and load it.
if(is_file(FCPATH.'views/'.$this->uri->segment(1).'.php')) {
$this->load->view($controller,$this->data);
}
If no static view is found, and there is no matching content in the db, call the show_404() function.
Using this method, you will keep the default CI functionality of uri mapping, so at any time, you can add controllers as you normally would and the app will perform like a vanilla CI install.
On my website, I am loading the content dynamically from database like this
e.g mysite.com/about-us
for this, there is an enrtry in database, so it will load the content for 'about-us' & print it using "page" controller only.
for this what I have done is, I have added below configuration in routes.php
$route[':any'] = "page";
but lets say if I already have controller named "about-us" and I want to load that & not the one from database, how can I do that?
A smooth solution would be to use the error/missing_page controller and point it in the config/routes.php.
Then it would automaticly pick all existing controllers first, and then that controller.
You can also call show_404() if you don't find a record in the database.
This allows you to create new controllers without having to point all of them in the route file.
Read about 404 override here
you need to add this
$route['about-us'] = "aboutus";
$route['about-us/(:any)'] = "aboutus/$1";
before
$route[':any'] = "page";
as the CI route is not greedy, it will not check for the page controller after it finds the about-us controller.
