Anchors in CodeIgniter like in Ruby on Rails

Question

in Ruby on Rails i can generate links like <%= link_to 'Name', :controller => 'controller_name', :action => 'action_name' %> . This alos works when i have changed the route for this url.

Is it possible to get something like this in CodeIgniter with the anchor when i have defined custom routes?

I hope it is understandable ;)

Thanks for help

Answer 1

Depending on your codeigniter project configuration, you can create simple html links with href attribute set to /index.php/controller/action or /controller/action . I am not sure if there are any link helpers present.

Answer 2

If you have custom routes set in application/config/routes.php then they won't be executed by the anchor function, you will have to extend the URL helper and redefine this function by passing your custom routes. Hope that helps
