Hi,

I’m developing a new extension for radiant. I have created a  
controller which is a subclass of Admin::AbstractModelController like  
this:

class PostsController \< Admin::AbstractModelController  
model\_class Post

# …

end

Posts controller is mapped to a new tab in the admin interface. When I  
click this tab list of items is displayed.

In development environment everything is working as I want, but when I  
try to run the same extension in production environment I get  
following error:

uninitialized constant Admin::PostsController

I checked environment specific configuration files, but haven’t found  
anything suspicions.

Any help on how to fix this issue will be appreciated.

Regards,  
Martins Grunskis

Sounds like your routes are messed up. Does your route definition look  
like this?

map.connect ‘admin/posts/:action/:id’, :controller =\> “admin/posts”

Make sure that your namespacing is correct.

Thanks, that helped. Now my controllers are in Admin namespace:

class Admin::PostsController \< Admin::AbstractModelController  
#…  
end

But I find it strange, that everything worked in development mode. Why  
it’s that way?

This piece of code that I borrowed from page\_attachements [1](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/page_attachments/app/models/observe_page_attachments.rb) also is  
working only in development environment! I’ve checked if it’s only  
that way in my extension, but no - page\_attachments has the same  
bug… Any ideas?

Thanks,
