So I’m new to EE development, but I’ve got a fairly extensive experience with CI.
I’d like to set up a URL structure like this:
/channel-name/*
/channel-name/*/videos
/channel-name/*/shows
/channel-name/*/awards
The only way I can think to do it now is by using a conditional in the template. Is there a way to route the URL similar to how CodeIgniter would allow me to do it?
Again, please forgive my ignorance if I’m missing something glaringly obvious!
Thanks.

Hi tcast,
Welcome to ExpressionEngine and the Forums!
Have a read over this part of the User Guide. It helps connect the dots on how EE URLs work. They are very similar to Codeigniter URLs, but all the routing is handled in a special way. Essentially, your URLs will map via template-group/template and you would make your channel calls within your template. You can consider templates as being similar to CI views, if that helps. Let me know if you have any more question on EE’s URL structure, and if there is anything I can do to help.
Cheers,
