hi  
i want to add a prefix to all urls in my project

for example ,now i have like this  
“[http://localhost:3000/posts](http://localhost:3000/posts)”

but  
i want like this  
“[http://localhost:3000/my\_blog/posts](http://localhost:3000/my_blog/posts)”  
“[http://localhost:3000/my\_blog/posts/new](http://localhost:3000/my_blog/posts/new)”  
“[http://localhost:3000/my\_blog/posts/edit/1](http://localhost:3000/my_blog/posts/edit/1)”  
“[http://localhost:3000/my\_blog/\*/](http://localhost:3000/my_blog/*/)\*…”

Hello Thani,

Try something like this:

map.resources :posts, :path\_prefix =\> ‘/my\_blog’

Hope it helps,

Elías
