CodeIgniter Subdirectories and URI Routing

Question

Ive read the guide on routing and URI views, and something doesn't click with me.

In my views folder, I have a subfolder called products. There is a product_view file in the file. In my controller, I have:

function index() {
            $data['title'] = 'Product Overview';
            $data['main_content'] = 'products/product_view';
            $this->load->view('templates/main.php', $data);
        } 

The template loads the header view, footer view and navigation view, as well as the view as the main content variable.

In my routing URI, I have:

    <?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*

| URI ROUTING
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------
| This file lets you re-map URI requests to specific controller functions.
|
| Typically there is a one-to-one relationship between a URL string
| and its corresponding controller class/method. The segments in a
| URL normally follow this pattern:
|
|   example.com/class/method/id/
|
| In some instances, however, you may want to remap this relationship
| so that a different class/function is called than the one
| corresponding to the URL.

| RESERVED ROUTES
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| There are two reserved routes:
|
|   $route['default_controller'] = 'welcome';
|
| This route indicates which controller class should be loaded if the
| URI contains no data. In the above example, the "welcome" class
| would be loaded.
|
|   $route['scaffolding_trigger'] = 'scaffolding';
|
| This route lets you set a "secret" word that will trigger the
| scaffolding feature for added security. Note: Scaffolding must be
| enabled in the controller in which you intend to use it.   The reserved 
| routes must come before any wildcard or regular expression routes.
|
*/

$route['default_controller'] = "index_controller";
$route['laser-configurator'] = "configurator";
$route['news-and-events'] = "news";
$route['products/product-overview'] = "products/product_view";
$route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";


/* End of file routes.php */
/* Location: ./system/application/config/routes.php */

This causes a 404 error when I try to go to domain.com/products/product-overview. Do I need to do something with my .htaccess? If yes, then? Here is my .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

Answer 2

CI URI .

"products.php", "", URI "/products".

So your code should be

$route['products/product-overview'] = 'products/index';
