Please solve such problem

Hi,
I unable to follow DRY principle. I struck in situation where actions
are same but controller are different.Wait,let me explain you with
example .

http://www.example.com/en/xyz/abc
http://www.example.com/en/mnb/abc
http://www.example.com/en/xkj/abc
http://www.example.com/en/cbc/abc

As you see in above URLs second last parameter is changing every time .
How to tackle such situation.

Currently i thought to use scope method in config/route.rb or i will
create separate controller for each /xyz/ , /mnb/ , /xkj/ .

How do you solve such problem ? It will be good if you tell me way which
follow DRY and flexible too.

Thanks.

It’s hard to say when I don’t knwo what you’re doing in those
controllers
but if they’re the same and it’s just the routing you’re asking about
you
could have a route such as

match ‘/en/:param1/abc’, :to => ‘foo#index’

which would route all those urls to the index action of your foo
controller, setting params[:param1] appropriately

Contents are different for all whose urls,but having same layout .

paritosh_p · November 16, 2012, 3:49pm

if generated content is different

match ‘/en/:param1/abc’, :to => ‘foo#param1’

and you will have different actions #xyz , #mnb , #xkj, #cbc in
your
foo controller
with same layout

can you clarify using samples urls ?

Are school_1 and school_2 different models? If so, why?
I see they different controllers? Why?

This is what my problem is and it is what i want to know. How did you
tackle
such situation ?

What is wrong with the suggestion offered by Fred, which allows you
send them to the same controller but with params indicating which
school it is?

if all pages are static , isn’t better to use a gem like HighVoltage ?
it’s what I have been using when no need for CMS…

It shares same layout means

class School_1Controller < ApplicationController
layout “shared_layout.html.erb”
end

class School_2Controller < ApplicationController
layout “shared_layout.html.erb”
end
.

logic behind HighVoltage is not big.I rather construct with scratch as
per my needs.Moreover my pages are not fully static also.Anyway thanks
for
your suggestion .

The suggestion posted by fred is really well suited for your need.

for instance, if you go to 0.0.0.0:3000/fr/School1/abc

this will be routed to the #abc controller, but with param1=‘School1’

def abc
@School=School.find_by_name(:param1)
@[email protected]_by_name(action_name)
end

Now in your layout, you will have available @School, which has all the
information about the school,
and @content, which contains the content of the page ‘about us’ etc etc.

If your content is static, this is not a good solution.

Au revoir,

Ace
