I have a model stories in Rails 3.
I want to make an alias "books" for "stories" so I can have routes /books/192 instead of /stories/192, and also that all my generated links (e.g. link_to) point to books' routes instead of stories' routes.
How can I do that?
Thanks
resources :stories, :path => :books
If you want to rename the path AND helper methods, then you do:
resources :stories, :path => :books, :as => :books
See: Overriding the Named Helpers
That's why they made the path option on match which is also available on resources:
resources :stories, :path => "books"
Try something like this:
match 'books/:id' => 'books#show'
match 'books' => 'books#index'

From the example in rails guides, routes like:
resources :publishers do
resources :magazines do
resources :photos
end
end
Will lead to, URLs like:
/publishers/1/magazines/2/photos/3
I want to have slugs for publishers for example - Oxford
And avoid the first "/publishers" part
Making the URLs to something like:
/oxford/1/magazines/2/photos/3
What is the cleanest and best way to achieve this in Rails 3?
scope :path => ":publisher_slug", :as => "publisher" do
resources :magazines do
resources :photos
end
end
publisher_magazine_photo_path("oxford",2,3)
I have a match that render by a named parameter
match '/:username' => 'controller#action'
I also have some resourses in my "/"
resourses :products, :services
The problem is when I want to go to products the routing take 'product' as :username parameter. How can I fix this?
Look here, you could do:
scope "(:username)/" do
resources :products
end
In my routes i have:
resources :posts
now say I want to create a new action/view, is it possible to add it inside a block like:
resources :posts do
// new routes other than the show/new/create/delete/update that REST gives me.
end
Yep
resources :post do
get :action, :on => :member
get 'other', :on => :collection
post :change, :on => :member
resources :another_model
end
note: these are just samples of what you can do and this does assume Rails 3. For more information you should read the Ruby on Rails Guide: Rails Routing from the Outside In
Yes, just add them in. For example, if you want to be able to post to "new_action" you would do
resources :posts do
post "new_action"
end
Have you looked at the Rails Guide: Rails Routing from the Outside In? Section 2.9 Adding More RESTful Actions describes exactly what you're looking for. I frequently refer to the other guides there too.
You can do this for a resource member
resources :posts do
get :preview, :on => member
end
or this for a resource collection
resources :posts do
get :active, :on => collection
end
When I was starting out with rails I was confused about what members and collections were. For a Post resource a member is an individual post while a collection is the collection of all posts. For example...
# url for a member
/posts/5/preview
# url for a collection
/posts/active
The rails guide goes into more detail on routing
G'day guys,
Having a bit of an issue with Rails routes, at the moment.
Have a top resource: /Customer/ which itself has only one /Quote/ resource
Quotes can have both first_resources and second_resources
which are collections of resources associated with the quotes
Building the route, though how do I nest multiple routes under a has_one route?
map.resources :customer, :has_one => :quote
how do I do?
quote.resources :first_resources
quote.resources :second_resources
by mapping them as sub-elements to the substructure?
Or would it be easier to manage the collection in a different way?
for this, I would nest inside of a block:
map.resources :customers do |customer|
customer.resource :quote do |quote|
quote.resources :first_resources
quote.resources :second_resources
end
end
alternative syntax:
map.resources :customers do |customer|
customer.resource :quote, :has_many => [:first_resources, :second_resources]
end
This would give you urls of
customers/:customer_id/quote/first_resources/:id
customers/:customer_id/quote
customers/:id
Or the way you provided I believe you would need to map plural quotes in order to be able to get to a specific quote if you don't want to nest
map.resources :customers, :has_one => :quote
map.resources :quotes, :has_many => [:first_resources, :second_resources]
that would give you urls of
customers/:customer_id/quote
customers/:id
quotes/:quote_id/first_resources/:id
I think the first one is what you are after. Hope this helps.
Resources: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Resources.html
map.resources :customers, :has_one => :quote
map.resource :quote, :has_many => :first_resources
map.resource :quote, :has_many => :second_resouces
Lets say you have a two models with blog posts and comments set up like this:
class post
has_many :comments
and the routing was set up pretty much the same way:
map.resources :posts, :has_many => :comments
When I go to make a new comment it shows up as localhost::3000/postname/comments/new
What should you do in order to make the url read something like: localhost::3000/postname/shoutout ?
The reason I want to do this is because this particular page will have more than just a new comment form on it.
I have no trouble naming routes but I'm having trouble figuring out what to do with a nested one.
map.resources :posts, :has_many => :comments, :collection => {:shoutout => :get}
Key feature is :collection, which points of pairs: 'name' => 'method', and you need to implement this name in controller (and views)
The routes have nothing to do with the forms that are on the page, I'm not sure what the problem is?
If you want to have /postname/shoutout go to to CommentsController#new you'll need to map the route manually:
map.connect '/:post_id/shoutout', :controller => 'comments', :action => 'new'
