Hello everyone,

I’ve recently switched from CakePHP to rails. In CakePHP there is a  
feature called admin routing where your route would look like:

/admin/controller/action/

which would map to a method admin\_action() in the specified  
controller.

Is something like this available in Rails as well or would I always  
have to create a separate controller?

thanks for your help  
Marc

You can take a look at namespace Just for an example

map.namespace(:admin) do |admin|  
admin.resources :accounts  
end
