Remove CodeIgniter controller name, index.php to just show default controller method names (with hyphens)

I'd like to

  1. Remove the default controller name from the URL
  2. Remove index.php from the URL
  3. Convert method_name with underscores to method-name with hyphens

In the following example fudev is the subdirectory off the root, and preview is the directory that codeigniter is in.

Currently: http://devsite.com/fudev/preview/index.php/controllername/method_name.

I wish have:

http://devsite.com/fudev/preview/method-name

Any ideas? I had the following in config/routes.php to change the method name to hyphens

$route['controllername/method-name'] = 'controllername/method_name';

..But that's only any good when I include controllername, which I want to omit.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance..

Jon.

You can change the url to accept hyphens by extending the Router class.
Create a file called MY_Router.php in application/core (assuming you haven't changed the default extension prefix which is set in your config.

The code for this file is;

<?php if (! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class MY_Router extends CI_Router {

    function set_class($class) {
        $this->class = str_replace('-', '_', $class);
    }

    function set_method($method) {
        $this->method = str_replace('-', '_', $method);
    }

    function _validate_request($segments) {
        // Does the requested controller exist in the root folder?
        if (file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.str_replace('-', '_', $segments[0]).'.php')) {
            return $segments;
        }
        // Is the controller in a sub-folder?
        if (is_dir(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$segments[0])) {       
            // Set the directory and remove it from the segment array
            $this->set_directory($segments[0]);
            $segments = array_slice($segments, 1);

            if (count($segments) > 0) {
                // Does the requested controller exist in the sub-folder?
                if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$this->fetch_directory().str_replace('-', '_', $segments[0]).'.php')) {
                    show_404($this->fetch_directory().$segments[0]);
                }
            } else {
                $this->set_class($this->default_controller);
                $this->set_method('index');

                // Does the default controller exist in the sub-folder?
                if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$this->fetch_directory().$this->default_controller.'.php')) {
                    $this->directory = '';
                    return array();
                }

            }

            return $segments;
        }

        // Can't find the requested controller...
        show_404($segments[0]);
    }
}

This will remap all hyphens to underscores for your controllers, no need to mess around with htaccess.
