I’d like to set up routes like //. Using a route like
map.connect ‘:section/:article’ works just fine, but I’ve also got an
admin area that is accessed through the route ‘admin’.
Inside the admin area I’ve got subpages like admin/sections and
admin/articles. This is conflicting with the other routes and I’m not
able to write something like map.connect ‘admin/:section’, :controller
=> ‘admin/:section’.
Yep, I have my ‘cms’ like tool setup to do just that. The only way I
got around it is kind of fugly, but it works.
Heres what I have for some map entries…
#map to make sure that all the controllers that need be accessed are
able to, and not #treated as “pages” in the cms
map.connect “:controller/:action/:id” , :requirements => {
:controller => /admin|any|other|controllers|here/ }
Basically I have one controller (pages_controller) that the
users/viewers of the site access and controls the display of the
pages. In your case it would be :sections/:articles but you get the
point.
Also, the order is important! The normal map needs to be above your
section/article map.
