Uri routing

terdelyi

I've just created the news module from Creating Pages tutorial, so it works on example http://testsite.com/news and http://testsite.com/news/slug

What I have to do if I want to news module also available on the frontend with http://testsite.com/something/this-is-news and http://testsite.com/something/this-is-news/slug urls? I try to modify the url in CI's route.php, but

$route['something/this-is-news'] = 'news'; $route['something/this-is-news/(:any)'] = 'news/$1';
not works. It can be possible that I don't understand the basics of FUEL's uri routing, so any idea can be helpful

In this case, FUEL uses view files to see if a page exist and in this case there are no view files that match. The key is to map a 'view' variable to the URI location. For the news example, it says to insert a news variables file to map the view file to the URI location. You will also need to do the same with the above URI location in a 'something' variables file:

(fuel/application/views/_variables/something.php)
$pages['something/this-is-news/:any'] = array('view' => 'showcase/project');

Make sense?

Yes, it makes and that's what I've searched for! Thanks!

How do you make this case-insensitive?

ie. this doesn't work:
$pages['something/Something/this-is-news/:any/This-Is-News/:any'] = array('view' => 'showcase/project');

any easy idea?

Thanks!

I think to make that case insensitive you would need to make a change in the core code to the regular expression that is doing the matching. On line 134 of the fuel/modules/fuel/libraries/Fuel_pagevars.php file, there is a line of the following:
if (preg_match('#^'.$key.'$#', $location))
It may be worth trying to add the case insensitive flag (i) like so:
if (preg_match('#^'.$key.'$#i', $location))
