How can I set default page?

farocco · December 7, 2005, 3:12pm

Hello,

I get to my app by:

http://web:8082/receipts/receipt

I would like the same page to come up if I type:
http://web:8082/receipts

How can I do this?

Thanks

Frank

Add a method in your receipts controller called index and have it look
like:

def index
receipt
render :action => “receipt”
end

Should do the trick.

In config/routes.rb put something like:

map.connect ‘receipts’, :controller => ‘receipts’, :action => ‘receipt’

Yikes – ‘receipt’ is one of those words that after looking at it too
much it goes all funny in my head and starts looking like alien
gibberish…

You can use Rails’ routing mechanism to do some url rewriting. The
app/config/routes.rb file contains your app’s routing information. On
your
example, you can try the following route:

map.connect ‘receipts’, :controller => ‘Receipts’, :action => ‘receipt’

That is, assuming that your /receipts/receipt link pertains to the
receipt
action of your ReceiptController.
