how to create Codeigniter route that doesn't override the other controller routes?
You can also use a foreach statement for this. That way you can keep your controllers in a nice neat list.
$controller_list = array('auth','dashboard','login','50_other_controllers');foreach($controller_list as $controller_name){ $route[$controller_item] = $controller_name;}$route['(:any)'] = "user/display/$1";
You're going to have to explicitly define all of those routes. Otherwise you will always end up at the "user_controller".
$route['signup'] = "signup";$route['(:any)'] = "user/display/$1";or something similar. They are ran in order, so what ever is defined first, is going to happen first. So if you catch (:any), you're going to send ANYTHING to that controller.
Also keep in mind that you can use regular expressions, so if you know there is always going to be a '.' in there, you could test for that.
