Change the uri of a module without renaming the class in PyroCMS

Question

What is the best way to change the uri of a module without renaming the class. For example I'd like the blog module to show:

/blog/post-title -> /news/post-title

routes.php?

Answer 1

First I added to the routes.php.

$route['news/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)'] = 'blog/$1/$2/$3';

Then to make sure the correct links I added this to the blog plugin.php.

foreach ($posts as &$post)
{
    $post->url = str_replace('blog/', 'news/', $post->url);
}
