Hi everyone!

Hope all had a good Christmas

I’ve just frozen edge rails 1.2 into my vendor/rails dir, and tried  
launching mongrel to test it, and got this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Matts\shop\>mongrel\_rails start  
\*\* Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000

My understanding of that is that it can’t find the named\_route function  
in the actionpack/lib/actioncontroller/routing.rb file. The function is  
def. in that file :S

This is how it’s being called in the plugin

class ActionController::Routing::RouteSet

alias\_method :\_\_draw, :draw

# Overrides the default RouteSet#draw to automatically

# include the routes needed by the ThemeController

def draw  
old\_routes = @routes  
@routes = []

```
begin
  create_theme_routes
  yield self
rescue
  @routes = old_routes
  raise
end

write_generation
write_recognition

```

end

# Creates the required routes for the ThemeController…

def create\_theme\_routes  
# Added patch from D.J. Vogel that changes :filename to  
\*filename… allowing sub-folders  
named\_route ‘theme\_images’, “/themes/:theme/images/\*filename”,  
:controller=\>‘theme’, :action=\>‘images’  
named\_route ‘theme\_stylesheets’,  
“/themes/:theme/stylesheets/\*filename”, :controller=\>‘theme’,  
:action=\>‘stylesheets’  
named\_route ‘theme\_javascript’,  
“/themes/:theme/javascript/\*filename”, :controller=\>‘theme’,  
:action=\>‘javascript’

```
connect "/themes/*whatever", :controller=>'theme', :action=>'error'

```

end  
end

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to include everything here so it  
was easier to help 😃

My temp solution for that is to empty routeset\_ex.rb, and copy all the  
routes in the file config/routes.rb:

#theme\_support  
map.connect “/themes/:theme/images/\*filename”, :controller=\>‘theme’,  
:action=\>‘images’  
map.connect “/themes/:theme/stylesheets/\*filename”,  
:controller=\>‘theme’, :action=\>‘stylesheets’  
map.connect “/themes/:theme/javascript/\*filename”,  
:controller=\>‘theme’, :action=\>‘javascript’

map.connect “/themes/\*whatever”, :controller=\>‘theme’,  
:action=\>‘error’

and it works well for me!
