This is an excerpt from my config/routes.rb file:
resources :accounts do |account|
account.resource :profile, :except => [:new, :create, :destroy]
account.resources :posts,
:collection => { :fragment => :get },
:has_many => [:comments, :likes]
# even more code
end
I would like that each nested resource to be loaded from from the account namespace such as Account::PostsController instead of PostsController.
Using resources :accounts, :namespace => 'account' tries to load AccountPostsController.
Trying to nest the structure doesn't really work all that well:
map.namespace :account do |account|
..
end
The previous code will load the files from the locations I want, however it does add the namespace to the url and the generated paths so I'll have methods such as account_account_posts_url and similar paths.
Another alternative is to use something like:
account.resource :profile, :controller => 'account/profile'
I really don't like this as it involves both code duplication and forces me to remove some of the rails magic helpers.
Any thoughts and suggestions?
Changing my routes.rb and running rake routes I came up with the following:
map.resources :accounts do |accounts|
accounts.namespace :account do |account|
account.resource :profile, :except => [:new, :create, :destroy]
end
end
This gets you what you want. The correct url and pointing to account/... controller.
See Rails Routing for more detailed info and options on what can be done with Rails Routes.
So what's specifically wrong with namespacing? I think this is what you're trying to do:
map.namespace :account do |account|
account.resource :profile
end
This will try to load the controller at app/controllers/account/profiles_controller.rb and will generate routes such as account_profile_path.
Updated based on comment:
map.resources :accounts do |account|
account.resource :profile
end
Will give you /accounts/22/profile.

I am using Rails 3.2
I want to have routing pretty much exactly like github, so:
root/(username)
root/(username)/(projectname)
root/(username)/(projectname)/issus
etc.
I am trying something like this:
resources :publishers do
resources :magazines do
resources :photos
end
end
But that gives routes like this:
/publishers/1/magazines/2/photos/3
A project I am looking at does the following which seems to work but does not seem to be for me.
resources :projects, :constraints => { :id => /[^\/]+/ }, :except => [:new, :create, :index], :path => "/" do
member do
get "team"
get "wall"
get "graph"
get "files"
end
resources :wikis, :only => [:show, :edit, :destroy, :create] do
member do
get "history"
end
end
If you want to get rid of the id number (which is rails default) and use a name I suggest the FriendlyId gem.
watch this railscast http://railscasts.com/episodes/314-pretty-urls-with-friendlyid
and here is the github page https://github.com/norman/friendly_id
EDIT
This is the article I was looking for, I forgot I bookmarked it months ago.

You must to use friendly_id and scope
scope '/:username/:projectname', module: 'users/projects', as: 'users_project' do
resources :issus
resources :photos
end
I have this scope:
scope ":user_id", :as => "user" do
resources :boards, :controller => 'users/boards'
end
I get this route:
http://localhost/hyperrjas/boards/
I want a url without boards then on routes.rb I add:
scope ":user_id", :as => "user" do
resources :boards, :controller => 'users/boards', :path => '/'
end
That works great, but it is still accessible via "/boards" ... How do I prevent that? (I'm using Rails 3.1)
You shouldn't have to specify the controller names when using resources and in this caseI would use nested resources:
resource :user, only: :show do
resources :boards
end
This should give you the following:
/:user_id
/:user_id/boards
/:user_id/boards/new
/:user_id/boards/:id/
/:user_id/boards/:id/edit
and of course your restful routes!
Using this as an example contexted:
Post has_many comments
Comment belongs_to post
I have a route that looks like:
resources :posts do
resources :comments
end
How do i create a route that exposes comments#index?
An example use case would be... I want to list ALL comments in the system on a page. Essentially using the comments resource as if it's not nested when a user hits /comments
thank you!
Try this.
resources :posts do
resources :comments, :except => :index
end
match 'comments' => 'comments#index', :as => :comments
That said, I usually look to avoid routes like this because I like a tidy RESTful routes file, but sometimes it can't be helped.
Second option:
resources :posts do
resources :comments, :except => :index
get :comments, :on => :collection
end
In the second option, you'd want to remove the index action from the comments controller and create a comments action in your posts controller.
I'm trying to define a route in routes.rb and I can't do anything from this Ruby on Rails routing guide that will let this error pass.
No route matches {:controller=>"devise/home"}
Here's my routes.rb source.
SchoolCMS::Application.routes.draw do
root :to => "home#index"
devise_for :teachers, :admin
resources :home, :only => :index
resources :admin, :only => :index
resources :events do
resources :event
end
resources :posts do
resources :comments
end
end
Just to be safe I would remove devise_for :teachers, :admin and split it so that it is
devise_for :teachers
devise_for :admin
I'm not sure you can specify multiple devises the way you use it, see if this fixes your error.
Also try to use path helpers were possible so instead of doing <%= link_to 'Home', :controller => 'home' %> make it <%= link_to 'Home', homes_path %> but make sure you define your home as resource :home, :only => :show since it's a singular resource.
I need to add some collection routes for a nested resource. I have a subscription controller and I need two new methods to add here. change_plan and update_plan
Basically I need the urls looks like;
http://localhost:3007/admin/accounts/1/subscriptions/7/change_plan
http://localhost:3007/admin/accounts/1/subscriptions/7/update_plan
So where to add change_plan and update_plan? this is what I have so far.
map.namespace :admin do |admin|
admin.resources :payments
admin.resources :accounts, :collection=>{:profile=>:get}, :has_many => [:payments,:subscriptions]
end
Thanks for any help.
Use the alternative syntax for has_many:
admin.resources :accounts, :collection=>{:profile=>:get} do |account|
account.resources :subscriptions, :member => { :change_plan => :get, ... }
...
end
