Re: CodeIgnigniter Config Question
That did the job!! Thanks : $route['(:any)'] = "main"; My Approach is very simple. There is three types of data. 1) Home page, 2) category pages, and 3) content pages. So all I need to do is read the URL and determine which it is and pull that content and populate the template. I will probably add one more layer of functionality. That would be to check if there is a template specifically for that particular content. Pretty simple approach. Thank you for your help!!

I personally recommend against one monolithic controller. I've found that if your controller is more than about a page of code, its failing DRY principles, difficult to refactor, difficult to test, etc. This is not always the case, but a decent generalization.

CodeIgnigniter Config Question
Hi, I'm looking at CodeIgniter. I would like to change the way it works a little bit. URL's will take on this pattern: MyDomain.tld = is the index MyDomain.tld/page-name (stand alone page) MyDomain.tld/cat1/catn (one or more categories) (display the last category) MyDomain.tld/cat1/catn/article-page (one or more categories then an article page) (display article) I would like to read the URL in a main controller. There would only be one controller. I would break the URL into its arguments and decide what Model and View to load and display. Is it possible to configure CodeIgniter to function this way?
