CodeIgniter default controller in subdirectory not working

Question

My default_controller in the route configuration is set to "home.php".

I have an auxiliary directory for my controllers, which can be called a "folder". So if I am http://mysite.com/folder/ , then by default the controller "folder / home.php" should be called correctly?

However, for some reason this does not work, I get 404. A visit to http://mysite.com/folder/home or http://mysite.com/folder/home/index works as expected. In addition to this, the controller works by default in the root directory ( http://mysite.com loads home.php).

Any ideas, anyone else experienced this? I cannot think it over - it will be a CI problem, but I cannot find anyone else with the same problem.

The documentation, as I understand it, at least suggests that this should work fine: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/controllers.html#subfolders

Setting the default controller to "folder / home.php" means that http://mysite.com/folder/ is working fine as expected. Except that the default controller should simply be "home.php" - both in the root and in the subdirectory, home.php inside this directory should be loaded, as the documentation suggests.

Greetings

For each subfolder in the controllers folder, you must specify the default controller in routes.php . The built-in $route['default_controller'] will not work for subfolders.

for example: to set the default controller for the folder subfolder for home add the following to the /application/config/routes.php file:

 $route['folder'] = "folder/home"; 

which means that http://mysite.com/folder/ same as http://mysite.com/folder/home as a URL.

You can expand the system router to meet the requirements,

• Create the My_Router.php directory in the application/core/ directory

/ * * To change this license header, select "License Headers" in the "Project Properties". * To edit this template file, select "Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. * /

 /** * Description of My_Router * * @author girish */ class My_Router extends CI_Router { //put your code here public function __construct($routing = NULL) { parent::__construct($routing); } protected function _set_default_controller() { if (empty($this->default_controller)) { show_error('Unable to determine what should be displayed. A default route has not been specified in the routing file.'); } // Is the method being specified? if (sscanf($this->default_controller, '%[^/]/%[^/]/%s', $directory, $class, $method) !== 3) { $method = 'index'; } if (is_dir(APPPATH . 'controllers' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $directory) === true) { if (!file_exists(APPPATH . 'controllers' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $directory . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ucfirst($class) . '.php')) { // This will trigger 404 later return; } $this->set_directory($directory); $this->set_class($class); $this->set_method($method); } else { if (sscanf($this->default_controller, '%[^/]/%s', $class, $method) !== 2) { $method = 'index'; } if (!file_exists(APPPATH . 'controllers' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ucfirst($class) . '.php')) { // This will trigger 404 later return; } $this->set_class($class); $this->set_method($method); } // Assign routed segments, index starting from 1 $this->uri->rsegments = array( 1 => $class, 2 => $method ); log_message('debug', 'No URI present. Default controller set.'); } } 

and overwrite _set_default_controller() from the user method, it will work with the subdirectory controller as well as with the root controller.

And in application/config/routes.php

if you need a default controller for a subdirectory then

  $route['default_controller'] = "admin/admins/login"; 

• admin - folder
• admins - controller
• login - method

If you need a default root directory, then

  $route['default_controller'] = "welcome/index"; 

• welcome - controller
• index - method

not sure if it will work in all versions, but tested in CI3.0.6

If you want to remain flexible, you need to pass everything after the initial folder (in application/config/config.php ):

 $route['home'] = "home/whatever"; $route['home/(:any)'] = "home/whatever/$1"; 

Answer 4

The default route is used to indicate to the CI which controller class should be loaded if the URI contains no data.

 $route['default_controller'] = "unicorn/best"; 

So when i load

 http://example.com/index.php/unicorn/ 

The best controller will be loaded.

also at boot

 http://example.com/ 

or

 http://example.com/index.php/horse/ 

The best controller will be loaded.

MY FALL STRUCTURE

 --controllers --backend --frontend --home.php --products.php --productDetail.php --homeIndex.php 

In config / routes.php

 $route['default_controller'] = 'homeIndex'; $route['frontend'] = 'frontend/home'; $route['backend'] = 'backend/home'; 

In the controllers /homeIndex.php

 <?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed'); require_once(APPPATH.'controllers/frontend/Home.php'); class homeIndex extends home { public function index() { $this->action(); } } 

by default, homeIndex will be loaded and from homeIndex I will call the function frontend / home / action.

Add this line to application / config / rout.php

 $this->set_directory( "yourfoldername" ); $route['default_controller'] = 'controller name';
