use routes.php to redirect filenames to controller?
  • dvinedvine
    Hey there, keep up the good work!<span class="string"><br><br>For SEO-purposes i would like to declare sth like </span>

        return array(
            'old_file.php' => 'admin/index',
            '_404_' => 'coursearea/404', // The main 404 route
        );

    , so i would like to redirect mydomain.com/old_file.php to my admin controller.

    How is that possible?

    Thanks
    Daniel

    You can not route on URI's with extensions unless you enable that in the config. Note that that will have all kinds of side-effects, so I advice against using it.

     It's better to use a rewrite rule for that, much more efficient too.

    thanks for the quick answer - can you give me a quick example of how and where to do that?

    In your app/config/config.php:
    /**
     * Routing settings
     */
    'routing' => array(
        /**
         * Whether URI routing is case sensitive or not
         */
        'case_sensitive' => true,

        /**
         *  Whether to strip the extension
         */
        'strip_extension' => true,
    ),

    and set the last one to false.
