I'm currently using friendly_id and I'm trying to get route to not include the resource name.
Normally, the URL is www.website.com/projects/25.
With friendly_id it's www.website.com/projects/fun-project. This is what I currently have.
And I'd finally like it to be www.website.com/fun-project.
I found this question about this but the solution wasn't working for me for one case.
//routes.rb
root 'static#index'
...
resources :projects, path: ''
When doing resources :projects, path: '', the projects#show works correctly, but I cannot use projects#index as I was before.
In my navigation, the projects_path that used to link to www.website.com/projects now just links to www.website.com.
Do I need to do something else for this case?
Thanks.
You can use simply get for this purpose in the following way:
get '/:project_id' => 'projects#show'
What I understand so far, you want the following URL to your projects resources.
www.website.com/fun-project
here 'fun-project' is the friendly id of your project.
In order to achieve this you can add the following line to your route:
get '/:id' => 'projects#show'
And should work!

I'm in trouble with routes in Rails. I've been trying to get a path like: home/blog/title-article but the closes I get is: home/blog/posts/title-article
I've tried with namespace, scope and one by one with get 'blog' => 'posts#blablabla', but I get errors like UrlGenerationError or NameError every time I change the paths. I've read the official guide and some answers in this forum, but I'm getting more confused hehe
In my last try I generated a controller Blog and a scaffold Post. The output of rake routes is: http://i.stack.imgur.com/gdfPc.png
routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
scope :blog do
resources :posts
end
get 'blog' => 'blog#index'
root 'pages#index'
...
Thank you!
Now my routes are like: http://i.stack.imgur.com/cKsFG.png
Thank you!
Not sure its what you expect but try:
resources :posts, path: 'blog'
Feels weird though.
Btw, I guess you have the errors due to url helpers.
use rake routes to check the existing routes and the related url helpers.

I am trying to reach the following url in my rails app:
example.com/user12 # It should show user#show
exmple.com/wordpress # It should show category#show
My solution: (it does not work)
In the routes.rb I have added :path => '' to both categories and users in order to remove the controllers' name from the url.
resources :categories, :path => ''
resources :users, :path => ''
When I run rake routes, I have the following urls"
category GET /:id(.:format) category#show
account GET /:id(.:format) accounts#show
So I assumed that It should be working correctly, but surely not. It only works for category names and for usernames it shows ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound.
I know, my solution is wrong because I am confusing rails route system and because the resources :categories has more priority over resources :users, the category show page works fine.
So Is there any solution to solve an issue like this?
I have finally found the solution with constraints option. This option accepts regular expressions.
resources :categories, :path => '', constraints: { id: /wordpress|php/ }
Every category should be added manually in this way OR (I am not sure) maybe there is a way to list all categories from database automatically.
One way of doing that is to override the default rails routes, to do that remove the resources
I tested and this works
SampleRails4::Application.routes.draw do
get '/user12', to: 'users#show' #=> users/show
get '/wordpress', to: 'category#show' #=> assuming u have a controller and action
end
however then you have to update the rest of your code, Ex: users/show might be expecting the user id as a param read more about rails routing
I have the following route:
#routes.rb
get "(/questions_groups/:group_id)/questions/new" => "questions#new", as: "new_question"
resources :questions
Id like calling the new_question_path(#question_group) where #question_group.id = 1 to return the path:
/questions_group/1/questions/new
Yet it returns:
/questions/new?group_id=1
When I remove the resources :questions I get the correct path but lose all my routes, how can I solve this problem?
Just call it something different. When you define the resource it comes loaded with a whole bunch of url helpers, in your case one of them is new_question, which is the same name as your custom route. If you're trying to replace the route for the new question then tell the resource not to define its own with:
resource :questions, except: :new
Try this
match "/questions_groups/:group_id/questions/new" => "questions#new", as: "new_question"
I've changed in my rails project the url from /tours/* to /tours/peru/. It's working fine but google already indexed the /tours/ url so I want to write a route that redirect the the URL to the new version of the URL
My code It's like this:
resources :tours, path: '/tours/peru' do
resources :reviews
resources :images
resources :quotes
end
match "/tours/:id" => redirect("/tours/peru/:id")
So I'm sure who to write the redirect to make it work
I think the correct syntax is:
match "/tours/:id" => redirect("/tours/peru/%{id}")
See the documentation for more info.
If you're looking for a GET redirect, I'd propose something like:
get '/tours/:id', to: redirect('/tours/peru/%{id}')
For more ruby 1.9+ syntax. Don't mean to be too picky. :)
I'm trying to use the path from the following route, here is what it's like in rake routes
chapter GET /chapters/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"chapters"}
chapter_path creates a link to /chapters/x which is correct but I get the routing error when trying to access it.
No route matches {:controller=>"chapters"}`
this is my routes (I am using shallow routing to create a books_chapters and book_chapters_new paths.
resources :books do
resources :chapters, :shallow => true
end
when I test the route with rake routes, I get books_chapters, books_chapters_new, chapters and books, so I don't know what's wrong.
when i remove :shallow => true, i can access /books/1/chapters/6 but I just want it to be /chapters/6
this is what my terminal looks like
so /chapters/id and /chapters/id/edit should be working fine.
I've restarted the server with touch tmp/restart.txt and ran rails s to see if the routes worked there too and rake routes is giving me acceptable routes, but they don't work for me.
Are you supplying the parameter for the path helper, something like
chapter_path(#chapter)
I couldn't figure out how to get :shallow routes to work, and there isn't an example on how to use :shallow in the rails guide so, instead I have to just use nested routes like so
resources :books do
resources :chapters
end
now this means the something like chapters_url or chapters_path won't work.
So I have to do something like this everywhere
book_chapter_url(#chapter.book, #chapter)
or
edit_book_chapter_path(#chapter.book, #chapter)
It works but there's a bit of code smell because I use #chapter twice and the whole url should be able to resolve just through the chapter id instead.
