Hello railslist,
I’m trying to accomplish the following:
The URL http://localhost:3000/page/news/edit
should redirect to the URL http://localhost:3000/login
I’ve accomplished this by setting up a route like:
map.connect ‘page/:name/edit’, :controller => “login”
But this fails in the case of the following URL:
http://localhost:3000/page/news/article4000/edit
How can I set up a route that just detects if the URL starts with
/page and ends with /edit?
I’ve tried using route globbing, (by using an asterix symbol) but I
don’t really understand its use. I put it like:
map.connect ‘page/*/edit’, :controller => “login”
(…but this neglects the /edit)
Can or should I use regular expressions for this? And how do I fit that
in?
Thanks in advance,
Gijs N.
