Hi-
I''m new to RoR (as probably evidenced by this post). What I want to do
is group some controllers beneath a subdirectory. For instance, I want
to have a http://www.mysite.com/admin section of the site that has
areas for managing users, products, etc. using URLs like
http://www.mysite.com/admin/user/new and so on. My question is
twofold. First, what is the best way to do this? Second, is this the
RoR way to do things or am I thinking in the paradigm of more
traditionla web frameworks.
Regards-
Eric
P.S. - Sorry if this question has been answered. Searhcing for
"directory" and "subdirectory" gives noisy results.

Have a look at http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/65 -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You can do this nicely & transparently in Rails: # file: app/controllers/admin/users_controller.rb class Admin::UsersController < ApplicationController end Then: url_for( :controller => ''admin/users'', :action => ''new'' ) => .../admin/users/new Ie: 1. You put your controller in a subdirectory ''admin'' in ''app/ controllers'' directory 2. You namespace the controller (Admin::UsersController) 3. You put your views in corresponding directory (app/views/admin/ users) -- but you don''t have to 3. Don''t forget to use correct syntaxt in url_for, link_to, render (eg. render :template => ''admin/new'') Cheers, Karel P.S. You can even subclass your Admin::UsersController from your "default" or "presentation layer" UsersController and use inheritance this way.
