How do I remove the /view in the url of my view page

Question

I developed my site jobgurus.com.ng with codeigniter. For SEO purpose, How do I change the view page url form www.jobgurus.com.ng/jobs/view/system-support to www.jobgurus.com.ng/jobs/system-support

I want to remove the /view in the url.

Any help will appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

You can try using the following code in your .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^view/(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R]

Explanation of the flags used:

L  -> Last
NC -> No case comparison
R  -> Redirection

Note: The default code for redirection is 302. You can change it to 301 of you want that by setting: [L,NC,R=301] .

If job is your controller name and view is your method, You can use route of CI. Add below line in file application/config/routes.php

 $route['job/(:any)'] = 'job/view/$1';

you can list similarly all possible links there.
