In my applications routes.rb I have defined three routes like the following
map.signup '/signup', :controller => 'users', :action => 'new'
map.login '/login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new'
map.logout '/logout', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'destroy'
Is it possible for me to get the controller and action name for a particular path?
I am looking for some method like this...
def current_routes(a)
end
should return :controller => 'users', :action => 'new' if I call current_routes('signup_path')
Try like this
ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize_path("/posts/")
If you only have a string with your route (like "signup_path"), then I guess in the context you're using this you should be able to do
ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize_path(send("signup_path".to_sym))

I am getting below error when I am trying to route the about page which I did with rails g scaffold about.
undefined local variable or method `map' for main:Object Did you mean? tap
This is what I have in the routes.rb file.
map.about '/about', :controller => 'abouts', :action => 'about'
Use
get '/about', :controller => 'abouts', :action => 'about'
or
post '/about', :controller => 'abouts', :action => 'about'
or
match '/about', :controller => 'abouts', :action => 'about', via: [:get, :post]
Run rails g scaffold about this command will generate multiple files, include model, views, and will write resource :abouts to the routes.rb file.
The routes syntax is not right.
map.about '/about', :controller => 'abouts', :action => 'about'
if you just want to create a about page, url set as /about
create a controller named abouts_controller.rb, in the /app/controllers folder
create a action def index; end in abouts_controller.rb
create a view file named abouts.html.erb in the folder app/views/abouts.(you will creat the folder)
write routes to routes.rb
get :about, :controller => :abouts, :action => :index
or
get '/about' to: "abouts#index"
or
match '/about', :controller => 'abouts', :action => 'about'
In Ruby on Rails, how can I do the equivalent of this in a more elegant routes line? I may have to add many of these...
map.connect '/about', :controller => "site", :action => "about"
map.connect '/contact', :controller => "site", :action => "contact"
map.connect '/preview', :controller => "site", :action => "preview"
Thanks!
You can do this:
map.connect '/:action', :controller => "site", :action => /about|contact|preview/
The part :action => /about|contact|preview/ makes sure that only the listed words can be used as action in this route,.
But do not forget to move the route suggested by #Tomas to the bottom of your routes.rb
Otherwise it will catch routes that should not be caught.
I am attempting to create a custom route in rails and am not sure if I am going about it in the right way. Firstly I have a RESTful resource for stashes that redirects to mystash as the controller:
map.resources :stashes, :as => 'mystash'
site.com/mystash goes to :controller => 'stashes', :action => 'show'
Which is what I want. Now is where it gets somewhat confusing. I would like to be able to add conditional params to this route. Ultimately I would like to have a route that looks like this:
site.com/mystash/zoomout/new/quiz_on/
I have places this in routes:
map.connect 'mystash/:zoom/:nav_option/:quiz',
:controller => 'stashes',
:action => 'show'
map.connect 'mystash/:zoom/:nav_option',
:controller => 'stashes',
:action => 'show'
map.connect 'mystash/:zoom',
:controller => 'stashes',
:action => 'show'
map.connect 'mystash',
:controller => 'stashes',
:action => 'show'
My routes have ended up looking like this in the browser:
site.com//mystash/zoomin?nav_option=New&quiz=quizon
and this is what one of my links looks like:
<%= link_to "In", stash_path("zoomin", :nav_option => #nav_option, :quiz => #quiz) %>
Any help is appreciated, I am pretty new to custom routes!
You should be giving these routes different names instead of the default, or you should be specifying your route with a hash and not a X_path call. For instance:
map.stash_zoom_nav_quiz 'mystash/:zoom/:nav_option/:quiz',
:controller => 'stashes',
:action => 'show'
map.stash_zoom_nav 'mystash/:zoom/:nav_option',
:controller => 'stashes',
:action => 'show'
Keep in mind that when you declare a named route, the parameters in the path must be specified in the X_path call with no omissions, and not as a hash.
link_to('Foo', stash_zoom_nav_quiz_path(#zoom, #nav_option, #quiz))
link_to('Bar', stash_zoom_nav_path(#zoom, #nav_option))
The alternative is to not bother with named routes and let the routing engine figure it out on its own:
link_to('Foo', :controller => 'stashes', :action => 'show', :zoom => #zoom, :nav_option => #nav_option, :quiz => #quiz)
If you're uncertain what routes are defined, or how to call them, always inspect the output of "rake routes" very carefully. You can also write functional tests for routes with the assert_routing method.
We've got a rails app that keeps producing an error that we can't track down. The problem seems to lie with the routing but we're not sure what is happening. Out routes file looks like:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
# Default
map.home '', :controller => "home"
# Admin
map.admin_home 'admin', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'index'
map.admin_login 'admin/login', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'login'
map.admin_reminder 'admin/forgot', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'reminder'
map.namespace :admin do |admin|
admin.resources :bookings,
:collection => {
:archive => :get, :reports => :get, :calendar => :get,
:step_1 => :any, :step_1a => :any, :step_2 => :any, :step_3 => :any, :confirmation => :any }
admin.resources :events,
:member => { :status => :get }
admin.resources :blogs,
:collection => { :archive => :get }
admin.resources :blog_replies,
:member => { :publish => :get }
admin.resources :minutes,
:collection => { :archive => :get }
admin.resources :businesses
admin.resources :business_categories
admin.resources :users
admin.resources :pricings
admin.backups 'backups', :controller => 'admin/backups'
admin.download_backup 'backups/download', :controller => 'admin/backups', :action => 'download'
end
map.admin 'admin/:action', :controller => 'admin/admin'
map.connect 'members', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'redirect_to_index'
map.connect 'members/login', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'redirect_to_index'
map.connect 'account', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'redirect_to_index'
map.connect 'account/login', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'redirect_to_index'
map.connect 'home', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'redirect_to_index'
map.connect 'home/login', :controller => 'admin/admin', :action => 'redirect_to_index'
map.blog 'blog/:permalink', :controller => 'blogs', :action => 'show'
map.connect 'blog/:id', :controller => 'blogs', :action => 'show'
map.connect 'book-online', :controller => 'bookings', :action => 'step_1'
map.connect 'book-online/:action', :controller => 'bookings'
# Defaults
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
map.connect "*anything", :controller => "public", :action => "unknown_request"
end
We have a set of public controllers in app/controllers and a set of admin controllers in app/controllers/admin. The issue we keep seeing is when a user goes to a url like admin/bookings, admin/bookings/step_1 or admin/events. Sometimes the urls work perfectly but other times I can see from the log file that something like the following happens:
ActionController::UnknownAction (No action responded to index):
Other times we'll get something like:
Processing EventsController#index (for [filtered] at 2009-01-21 10:54:38) [GET]
Session ID: [filtered]
Parameters: {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"admin/events"}
Rendering template within layouts/public
Rendering events/index
Completed in 0.00863 (115 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.00338 (39%) | DB: 0.00000 (0%) | 200 OK [http://www.gresfordtrust.org/admin/events]
from the last example you can see that the url requested was admin/events which should have hit the #index in Admin::EventsController but instead it renders the #index action in EventsController.
We're running the app with Rails 2.0.2.
You don't have a configured route for EventsController, so your error is happening because some request is falling down to the default route, map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
.
This is happening because someone/something is sending a request of an HTTP method that isn't configured for your AdminEventsController. Your admin.resources :events, :member => { :status => :get } will match the following requests:
GET /admin/events
GET /admin/events/<id>
GET /admin/events/<id>/status
POST /admin/events
PUT /admin/events/<id>
DELETE /admin/events/<id>
Anything else would fall through to the default route. So if you're seeing those ActionController::UnknownAction on this controller look for requests that are using the wrong HTTP method.
The source of your bizarre log message is almost certainly a request that was something like this:
GET /admin/events/index
The solution is to get rid of that default route entirely and ensure you're adding resource[s] routes for all the controllers in the right place.
I am working on my personal site with RoR.
I searched and read books. But I cannot figure out.
How Can I configure routes.rb for xxxxx.com/:id?
For example:
twitpic.com's image url or short url is "http://twitpic.com/11u1cy".
map.connect ':id', :controller => :your_controller, :action => :show
I'm assuming what you mean is that you want a URL like http://example.com/123 to load http://example.com/mymodel/123. If that is the case, put this at the end of your routes:
map.mymodel_id '/:id', :controller => 'mymodels', :action => 'show', :requirements => { :id => /\d+/}
