I have the following nested route in my routes.rb

map.resources :users do |user|  
user.resources :pie\_charts  
end

and the ‘rake routes’ command shows the following routes:

user\_pie\_charts GET /users/:user\_id/pie\_charts(.:format)  
{:controller=\>“pie\_charts”, :action=\>“index”}  
user\_pie\_chart GET /users/:user\_id/pie\_charts/:id(.:format)  
{:controller=\>“pie\_charts”, :action=\>“show”}

This all works, but I want the URLs to omit “/users,” that is:

user\_pie\_charts GET /:user\_id/pie\_charts(.:format)  
user\_pie\_chart GET /:user\_id/pie\_charts/:id(.:format)

Is this possible, and if so how would one go about configuring it?

Hi,

I have the same problem but I need to omit both users and pie\_charts  
from url… and my pie\_charts has many others nested resources.

If someone know how to do it, please, tell us.
