Rails - Jun 2005 - defaults for url_for

Is there anyway in a route to specify the default value to use for a 
particular "fragment" if a value is not specified?

You can try to do that using the ''default_url_options'' in your
controllers or in the application.rb. See the link below for details:

map.connect ''person/:last/:first'', :first =>
''john''

url_for(:last => ''doe'') #=>
''person/doe''
url_for(:first => ''doe'') #=>
''person/doe''
http://server/person/doe #=> {:last => ''doe'', :first
=> ''john''}

map.connect ''person/:last/:first'', :defaults => {:last
=> ''smith''}

url_for(:first => ''john'') #=>
''person/smith/john''
