You will need to override the default 404 controller in application/config/routes.php.

$route['404_override'] = 'content';

Any request that can't be mapped to a controller will be passed to the application/controllers/content.php controller

Your Content controller, or whatever you decide to call it, will parse the uri [$this->uri->segment(1)] and check for a matching reference in your CMS database.

If there is no match in the database, then you can look for a static view in the views folder and load it.

if(is_file(FCPATH.'views/'.$this->uri->segment(1).'.php')) {
    $this->load->view($controller,$this->data);
}

If no static view is found, and there is no matching content in the db, call the show_404() function.

Using this method, you will keep the default CI functionality of uri mapping, so at any time, you can add controllers as you normally would and the app will perform like a vanilla CI install.
