CodeIgniter - Remove "Index" From URL

Question

NOTE: I'm not talking about removing index.php - I mean index - the method name.

My current URL looks like this:

www.mysite.com/view-topic/index/my-topic

This is what I want it to look like:

wwww.mysite.com/view-topic/my-topic

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance!

See routing in documentation.

You can set up the routes for this, in application/config/routes.php, add a new line:

$route['view-topic/(:any)'] = 'view-topic/index/$1';

This will route your URL http://url.com/view-topic/anythinggoeshere will mask the view-topic/index/anythinggoeshere controller.

Thank you my friend! Will mark your answer as best as soon as 10 minutes is up. :)

Above will call index function for other functions in view-topic controller too.

This is not a good long term solution. As Rohan mentioned, this will match all methods in the view-topic controller so unless this controller only uses a single method this will not scale.
