how to hide controller name using routes when you have an id segment?

Question

I have an url like this:

http://kees.een-site-bouwen.nl/home/categorie/11

to show factories in a specific category.

I want to have an url like this:

http://kees.een-site-bouwen.nl/categorie/11

but when i use the url routing in my config/routes file like this:

$route['categorie'] = 'home/categorie';

it does not work. am i missing something?

The working link to the page is:

echo '<a href="'.base_url().'home/categorie/'.$value->idcategorieen.' ">' .$value->Categorie. '</a>';

The link that does not work is:

echo '<a href="'.base_url().'categorie/'.$value->idcategorieen.' ">' .$value->Categorie. '</a>';

Hope someone can help me :)

You are missing to to mention the argument i.e 11 to like this

$route['categorie/(:num)']

The param is integer so its better to use :num – Svetoslav Apr 17 '13 at 08:26
I gave a generic solution as question was not mentioned with type of parameter. Well you point is valid in these case. – chandresh_cool Apr 17 '13 at 08:30
i mentioned it.. if you look at my url it says /categorie/11. 11 is a number. – Kees Sonnema Apr 17 '13 at 08:34
