When I accessed 'localhost/admin', it redirect to 'localhost/'.
Question is :
- Where should I handle this ? I want to do something when someone accessed 'localhost/admin' , not just redirect them to 'localhost/'.

Answer 1

So it's a three part answer.

You need a controller named (in this example) example.php. You need a view in your view folder called example_view.php. And you need to edit your config/routes file.

First, create a controller in your admin folder. In this case I'll call it example.php. It should look like this:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Example extends CI_Controller {

/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| CLASS CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
*/    
    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();

    } 
/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| VIEW FOR INDEX LAUNCHING PAGE
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
*/   
public function index() {
        $this->load->view('example_view');
}


}//end controller class

/* End of file example.php */
/* Location: ./application/controllers/admin/example.php */

Second create a view called example_view.php and put it in your view folder.

Third open config/routes.php and add this line: $route['admin'] = "admin/example";

This last part points anything that is called localhost/admin to the view indicated in your example.php index() function.
