Routing

Rails
1

I have this in my routes.rb:

…
map.connect “:action/:id”, :controller => “default_controller”
…

It worked nicely, until I added a second controller to my project. The
new (second) controller is “Admin”.

The problem is I cant reach the actions in the second controller.

http://mysite.com/some_action is routed to some_action in
default_controller. That is how I want it to be. But how do I reach
admin_action in the Admin controller? This doesnt work, for obvious
reasons:

http://mysite.com/admin/some_action

it gets routed to the undefined action admin in default_controller with
id some_action.

How can I correct this so that

http://mysite.com/some_action is routed to to
default_controller/some_action and
http://mysite.com/admin/admin_action is routed to
admin_controller/admin_action

???

Please help me!

Routes are processed in the order they’re given in routes.rb, so if you
want to trap the admin controller, give it a route BEFORE the one
definining "
/:action’, :controller => ‘default_controller’" etc.

Above that one, put:

map.connect ‘/admin/:action’, :controller => ‘admin’

Put the most specific entries first, and the most general ones at the
bottom. That way you can trap the special cases before they’re resolved
by the general default case.
