Using the brand-spanking new map.resources for REST goodness, is there a way to pass in additional parameters, or do I have to go back to standard routes. For example, is there a way to use the map.resources to response to urls like: /blog/2005/02/03/ => :controller => :blog, :action => :show, :year => 2005, :month => ''02'', :day => ''03'' Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I would add a second and non REST route like this:
map.index_by_date
''blog/:year/:month/:day'',
:controller => ''blog'', :action =>
''index'',
:year => nil, :month => nil, :day => nil,
:requirements => { :year => /\d{4}/, :month => /\d{1,2}/, :day
/\d{1,2}/ }
Now in your controller index action simply check for the params. If
given, filter posts accordingly.
Hope this helps,
Zack
