hi,
just added this to my routes:
map.namespace :admin do |admin|
admin.resources :categories
end
to have a /admin/… urls.
but now all of my other links do have that prefix!? why is that?
any ideas?
thx
thx luis,
i know what u are describing. what i didnt know and dont know how to
“undo”
is:
being on a regular resource, eg index-view of projects, all urls show
fine,
eg :3000/tasks, 3000/milestones, …
but being on the admin/categories resource and i hover over the “link_to
projects” and all the others, it shows me /admin/projects. i didnt
specify
that, so im just wondering …
thx
You just added categories to your admin resource. That said, you’ll end
up with routes looking like this /admin/id/resource.
What that means is that any time you need to call a resource, you’ll
have to include the admin id in it as they as “nested”.
You could have a look at this railscast
Luis
Can you post your link_to code?
If you have something like
link_to projects_path
it shouldn’t pick the the route from admin
thats exaclty why im gettin confused. here are two link from the
application.rhtml:
<%= link_to “Invite Friends”, :controller=>‘tellyourfriends’,
:action=>‘new’
if logged_in? %>
<%= link_to_unless_current ‘Browse Categories’,
:controller=>‘categories’,
:action=>‘index’
here the routes:
map.namespace :admin do |admin|
admin.resources :categories
end
map.resources :categories
is there somethign wrong here?
thx for ur time! i appreciate it
tom
You’re defining categories as a single resource and nested resource.
That’s why you’re getting the conflicting results.
Which one of the two links are is displaying the nested url? I assume
the second one
Luis
well,
i was following a tutorial regarding admin namespaces. i do have a model
holding categories. goeal would be to have a user-ui to have just
3000/categories and an admin-ui for editing etc.
not sure now how to proceed. i would like to keep the admin views in a
separate folder plus admin-controller.
do u have a pointer?
thx
Looking at the documentation more closely, you could do something like
this in your routes
namespace “admin” do
resources :categories
end
This will give you /admin/categories in the way you want.
Luis
yes, was looking at the same, but that is rails3 if im not wrong.
ill keep digging
thx
im not sure if you need a nested resource for what you want to
accomplish.
Just go ahead and define admin and categories as a single resource.
Luis
type rake routes to figure out all the new routes
doing just:
map.namespace :admin do |admin|
admin.resources :categories, :controller=>"categories"
end
gives me two routes:
/admin/categories
/categories
both are hitting the right controllers, but once im on the
admin-index-view,
all other links are still prefixed with admin. o well

You may need to use :controller => ‘/whatever’ instead of :controller =>
‘whatever’ in your link_to to force things into the root namespace.

I find it weird that it’s doing that. If you use the correct restful
path, it should hit the right url
Oh, yeah, named routes shouldn’t be affected.
But you can try what Marnen suggested, seem hacky though…
I wouldn’t call it hacky. Rails link_to, presumably by design, assumes
the current namespace unless otherwise specified.
