Has anyone got map.resources to work within Radiant admin/extensions.  
The problem I have is that if I:

map.resources :testimonials

…everything works fine but everything operates out of /testimonials  
not /admin/testimonials which means that when I create a page with a  
slug of ‘testimonials’ it all fails horribly when I try to visit that  
page (because it is calling the resourced controller not the radiant  
page).

I could go back to Rails’s :controller/:action’s but thought I’d give  
this a go (and my present app does use it to an elegant end).

Any one with any experience of this?

Kind regards,  
-Karl

map.resources :testimonials, :path\_prefix =\> “/admin”

Try that. 😉

Hi Karl,

Did this work out for you in the end?

I’ve managed to get map.resources working fine in my Radiant extensions  
except for posting to the edit/update functions, whenever I try that I  
get  
the standard Radiant 404 Page Not Found page come up.

Anyone have some ideas on this one? I’m stumped.

Cheers,  
Kevin A.

I’ve added this to the wiki [http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/)  
HowToWriteAnExtension

I find extensions a bit confusing, so I decided to start documenting  
and hope that others will pitch in.

Are your controllers inheriting from Admin::AbstractModelController?

Hi Sean,

No, they are inheriting from ApplicationController

Thanks,
