Question

I made a contest where members could register to win prizes.
Now, it’s time to display results and winners of the contest. I want to allow only one controller and one method, to disable the possibility to still register to the contest.

I think redirections may be a great solution but how to do this on the whole application without copy and paste the code in every methods of each controller?

Any ideas/advices welcomed!

Answer 1

The easiest way would be to catch any url in your routes file (config/routes.php) and assign it to the controller action you want to show:

$route['default_controller'] = 'controller';
$route['(:any)'] = "controller/action";

This is also faster than using redirects.
