Question

I’m using URI re-routing in CI to make better URLS. An example here would be:

$route['users/(:any)'] = "users/index/$1";

The aim here is to get rid of the index from URL. This works well. However it stops me from being able to access any functions in the users controller, for example

mywebsite.com/users/messages

Just redirects to the users/index. Is there a way around this?

Define the list of methods you wish to keep then let the rest wildcard match:

$route['users/(messages|login|something)'] = "users/$1";
$route['users/(:any)'] = "users/index/$1";
