Question

I have created a Home page controller with a Page method so that it can load inner page views. So I simply pass the Page name as an argument to Page method and it loads that specific view.

E.g. 
http://www.mywebsite.com/home/page/copyright

So here
1. home is controller
2. page is method
3. copyright is the parameter passed to page() method

So the home age loads simply using this URL

http://www.mywebsite.com/home/

and inner pages load using this url pattern

http://www.mywebsite.com/home/page/copyright

Now I want to load inner pages so that suppose I use this URL

http://www.mywebsite.com/copyright

it should load the page from

http://www.mywebsite.com/home/page/copyright

How can I do this using Codeigniter Route method or by using .htaccess file ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

On your application/config/routes.php :

$route['copyright'] = 'home/page/copyright';

Even better:

$route['(:any)'] = 'home/page/$1';

So if you navigate to http://www.domain.com/copyright it routes to home/page/copyright
If you navifate to http://www.domains.com/anything it routes to home/page/anything

EDIT to catch any route

Although in this case you have to “catch” pages that you don t route like:

function page($section = ''){

 switch($section){
  case 'contact':  
   //display contact form
  break;

  case 'copyright':
  //display copyright
  break;

  default:
  //404 error
  break;
 }
}
