如何使用.htaccess缩短codeigniter中的网址？

Question

I want to know if there is any way to shorten urls in a codeigniter using .htaccess. Like for example I have example.com/user/account/settings, I would like to shorten the url to example.com/settings. In the same way we remove index.php from the address bar, is there a way to remove more items from the same?

Answer 1

It's done by routes.php file in your CodeIgniter application folder. Documentation.

For your example it would be really easy, just add a line to the file:

$route['settings'] = 'user/account/settings';
