hi

following the notes from DHH’s keynote at Euro RailsConf 07 ive  
created a restful admin controller and im wondering how i link to this  
using restful helpers?

obviously edit\_post\_path(post) for example will no longer work and i  
dont think nesting posts in admin will work either because their are  
now two seperate posts controllers.

anyone?

edit\_admin\_users\_path(@user) will take you to /admin/users/1/edit

I find it easier when I can see what’s going on. The “rake routes” task  
will dump a list of all your routes and their names. Add \_path or \_url  
to the name to get your helper of choice.
