Answer 1

you can overwrite your any URL by htaccess

or

edit your routes.php file in Codeigniter Config Folder (application -> config -> routes.php) to do this see this tutorial

Answer 2

In your route.php,

$route["pages/(:any)"] = "pages/view/$1"

Caution: You can't call other functions. Pages controller should have only one method in this case.

Answer 3

You can try codeigniter routing http://ellislab.com/codeigniter%20/user-guide/general/routing.html

Answer 4

You can use this in your routes.php:

$route['pages/(:any)'] = 'pages/view/$1'

This will work for only your pages controller. For all other controllers you need to define in the same way. You can also manipulate htaccess file for this.
