Routing problem

Rails
1

Hi all,

I want the url something like this:

http://localhost:3000/profile/anyusername

This will access the controller: profile and the action: view and the
value “anyusername” is the :username parameter.
So I wrote in my route file something like this

map.connect ‘profile/:username’, :controller =>
‘profile’, :action=>‘view’

But what I want more is that except for the value “index”,“edit”, and
“update”. When the user type the url:

http://localhost:3000/profile/index, it will access controller:
profile and action: index. For “edit” and “update” are in the same
process.

So my finally route is:

map.connect ‘profile/index’, :controller =>
‘profile’, :action=>‘index’
map.connect ‘profile/edit’, :controller => ‘profile’, :action=>‘edit’
map.connect ‘profile/update’, :controller =>
‘profile’, :action=>‘update’
map.connect ‘profile/:username’, :controller =>
‘profile’, :action=>‘view’

And they are working fine. But I think it’s too long.
Are there any ways that is shorter than the above.

Thanks in advance,

Mako

What about:
map.connect ‘profile/:username’, :controller => ‘profile’, :action =>
‘view’
map.connect ‘profile/:action’, :controller => ‘profile’

map.connect ‘/profile/:action’, :controller => ‘profile’, :requirements
=> {:action => /(edit|update|new|index)/ }
map.connect ‘/profile/:username’, :controller => ‘profile’, :action =>
‘view’
