Hi List, I have a table called invoices where I store all the invoices, the ones that I create and the ones that I received. They have the same fields, the same views, the same data, but I must differentiate between them. Actually I have one controller called invoices, and from a starting page, I add a parameter into the url for the kind of invoice I want to retrieve. Now, I have to append this extra parameter in all the urls for going/accessing the invoices, like pagination urls, edit/show/update/ ... Would be easier to create another controll for handling this ? for example, now I have: http://127.0.0.1:3000/invoice/list?kind=2 http://127.0.0.1:3000/invoice/list?kind=3 and I could use: http://127.0.0.1:3000/invoice_me/list http://127.0.0.1:3000/invoice_to/list with this approach, I can forget about append the extra url parameter, but I''d have two identical controllers, just the difference about id=2 or id=3. I''m thinking how to solve this while I learn Ruby on Rails ... thanks, raimon -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

you could try some routing. add to routes.rb before the last two
automatically generated routes
map.invoices_in ''in/invoices/:action/:id'',
:controller => ''invoices'', :type =>
''in''
map.invoices_out ''out/invoices/:action/:id'',
:controller => ''invoices'', :type =>
''out''
so now if you do
http://localhost:3000/in/invoices/show/10
in your invoices controller:
def show
if params[:type]==''in''
# handle incoming invoices
else
# handle outgoing invoices
end
end
in your view, you can use the named route
<%= link_to ''incoming invoice #1'',
invoices_in_path( :action=>''show'',:id => 1) %>
and it will generate
<a href="in/invoices/show/1">incoming invoice #1</a>
invoices_in_path and invoices_in_url methods are automatically created
for you because of his
map.invoices_in ''in/invoices/:action/:id'',....
