CodeIgniter - remove "pointer" from URL

Question

NOTE: I am not talking about removing index.php - I mean index - the name of the method.

My current url is as follows:

 www.mysite.com/view-topic/index/my-topic 

Here is what I want it to look like this:

 wwww.mysite.com/view-topic/my-topic 

How can I do it?

Thanks in advance!

You can configure routes for this, in application/config/routes.php , add a new line:

 $route['view-topic/(:any)'] = 'view-topic/index/$1'; 

This is the route of your URL http://url.com/view-topic/anythinggoeshere will mask the view-topic/index/anythinggoeshere controller.
