In your routes.php file route every existing controller (you should have atleast one) to itself. For example if you have controller main in main.php file route it:

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

The reason why you should route it twice is because you must make sure that opening http://yoursite/main works as well as http://yoursite/main/my_method/ etc. Do this for every other controller you have.

The next step is to route everything else to your users controller. For example you have a profile method that has 1 argument - the username.

$route['(:any)'] = "users/profile/$1";

So now you will have everything else routed to users/profile/username.

One thing to remember is that the topmost priority goes higher in the routes.php file so your routes file should look something like:

$route['main'] = "main";
$route['main/(:any)' = "main/$1";
$route['users'] = "main";
$route['users/(:any)' = "main/$1";
$route['(:any)'] = "users/profile/$1";

See if that works!

You can use the CI routing

In your route.php file, select all your users and create a route for each :

$aUsers = $this->oDb->getAllUsers();
foreach($aUsers as $oUser) {
    $route[$oUser->username] = "profile/" . $oUser->username;
}

It should work.
