Is there an easier way to set up and admin controller in rails other
than

This seems like way too much work. Please help if you can. Your help is
greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

I’ am just working on a hotel booking application and I decided to
give the administrator
own controllers and views. For me it’s easier to maintain.

If I use the same template for guests and admins I have a lot of

<% if !admin? %>
guest things to show
<% else %>
admin things to show
<% end &>

…

so I decided to make it this way:

app
controllers
admin
bookings_controller.rb
guests_controller.rb
…
bookings_controller.rb
guest_controller.rb

…

views
admin
bookings
index.html.erb
guests
index.html.erb
…
bookings
index.html.erb
guests
index.html.erb

I have a lot of files but for me it’s easier to maintain 2 templates -
allowing me to generate
2 completly different outputs without having lots of if - conditions.

This thread has links to other articles besides Akita’s:

In particular, using a single controller with conditional logic is
discussed in one article.
