I’m wondering how or if it is possible to nest a resource more than  
one level.

routes.rb

map.namespace :blog do |blog|  
blog.resources :channels, :has\_many =\> :articles  
end

For example, how could I say that would like each article to have  
nested comments.

map.namespace :blog do |blog|  
blog.resources :channels, :has\_many  
=\> :articles ?? :has\_many :comments  
end

I’m thinking the url would look something like:  
/blog/channel/1/article/1/comment/1

Thanks,

resident moron

There is another way of doing :has\_many that is this way:

map.resources :posts do |post|  
post.resources :comments  
end

This way your route will be something like this:

map.namespace :blog do |blog|  
map.resources :channels do |channel|  
channel.resources :articles do |article|  
article.resources :comments  
end  
end  
end
