Blog as root route

pluswn

Hi guys,

How can I make /blog as my root route?
So / is the same as /blog
and /2013/04/23/hello-world is the same as /blog/2013/04/23/hello-world.

Thanks!

Does it work for you when you change the default_controller route to 'blog' instead of 'fuel/page_router'?
$route['default_controller'] = 'blog';

Hi,

Nope. It does not works.

admin

Hmm... it seems to work for me at first glance. Is this 0.93 or the 1.0 beta? Also, when you say it doesn't work, do you mean that it simply still just displays the homepage?

Hi,

It is 0.93 and yes it simply displays the homepage.

admin

Hmm.. that appears to be an issue with 0.93 but not for 1.0 and am uncertain at this point if it is the version of CI being used or the HMVC modular separation piece of it. Sorry, but I think at this point, your best bet is to either upgrade to 1.0 and try it out or to put in a redirect to go to /blog. Here is one post on the upgrade process that may help:

I'll give 1.0 a run. Thanks

It works on 1.0. I'll be working on 1.0 then.

Thanks!

Hi,

I succeded to make /blog as root route.

Now, how can I change /blog/2013/04/24/manchester-united-claim-their-20th-premier-league-title

to

/news/2013/04/24/manchester-united-claim-their-20th-premier-league-title

I already change the module URI from the admin but then the later link gave me 404 page.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

The settings change is used to control what the generated links display. The last step is to create the route in your route file like so:
$route['news'] = 'blog';

It works. Thank you
