Question

In my project, have setup an admin panel under a folder inside controllers folder like this

controllers/admin_panel/dashboard.php

And when we open it like this, it loads dashboard controller default
http://www.mysite.com/admin_panel

Now I have added a page controller on root level to load the page content from database. So here I have some a setup of kind of CMS. To load the page controller, I have added a condition in routes as below

$route[‘:any’] = “page”;

But what it is doing now is, when I try to open admin_panel, it loads the page controller.
So I want to add a kind of exception condition here like route any except admin_panel

Any suggestions how can I achieve this ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can just define another route right above that one that will take you to the admin panel. In CodeIgniter, routes will run in the order they are defined.

$route['admin_panel'] = 'admin_panel';
$route[':any'] = 'page';

You should be able to access the admin_panel with the above routing.
