Question

I store the categories that a post belongs to in a database and I’d like to use them in the URL. How can I do this dynamically?

For example, I’d like to generate a URL like example.com/action-adventure/post-name.

I’d imagine it would involve routes.php, but I just don’t know how to do it dynamically.

Answer 1

This could be problematic, consider:

$route['(:any)'] = 'blog/post/$1';
$route['(:any)/(:any)'] = 'blog/post_category/$1/$2';

–

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

Blog/post would have priority here, so naming conventions become an issue/or not

Structure your links before hand I would suggest

public function post_category($type, $post_name){}
