Remove url segment

Question

I am using the codeigniter Tank_auth library and I want to remove the "auth' part from all the urls.

http://mysite.dev/auth/login

to

http://mysite.dev/login

Codeigniter have routing - ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html check it. There you can set login to equals to auth/login — Svetoslav

I know but the library has it's own links and redirects set with the "auth" in front and its a pain to try and change them all. i just want a rewrite rule so it can be done automatically. — Florian Shena

If your script links point to auth/login then you must change them. And if you use @complex857 route it will work fine.. — Svetoslav

@FlorianShena, tjat alone only would work the other way around, redirecting from /login to end up on /auth/login — complex857

@FlorianShena by the way this Tank_auth is last updated 2 years ago.. Be sure that its up to date for current CI version before using it. — Svetoslav

Use the routes configuration, add something similar to this to application/config/routes.php:

$route['login'] = 'auth/login';

Once you got this set up, you can make the webserver to redirect users from the old url like this:

RewriteRule ^auth/login http://%{SERVER_NAME}/login [L,R=302]

This one will redirect old url requests to the newly handled /login, you might want to handle https:// or subdirectories in later part of the rule.

The whole setup seems a little hackish, changing the generated urls seem to be a better idea.
