Hi, I''m designing a simple CMS, and hope to share the code.
Objectives of CMS:
* Simple scaffold backend with password protection
* View a page either by specifying the id or title
* View a list of pages
* View latest 5 pages in a section
* View all pages in last month
* View all pages in a section paginated
* URL looks like static site, /folder/page
* Homepage displayed if no page specified
* Same template for all pages
* Handle page not found
So my idea is:
Authors (has_many) Pages (belongs_to) Section
Page
index
view
view_by_id
view_by_title
view_all_in_section
view_latest_in_section
The actions that return one page (@page) will share a view and the
actions that return more than one page (@pages) will share a view.
Now this is where my questions come in:
1. Do the action names looks good, any better suggestions?
2. Can I use routes to prevent my action names showing in the URL eg.
"domain.com/page/view_by_id/3" or
"domain.com/page/view_all_in_section/5"
Instead I want these URLs:
domain.com/section/page
domain.com/page
domain.com/section/archive
domain.com/section/latest
Something doesn''t quite seem right, because I want my URL to include
the
section, but the actions dont need the section as input, only the page
id or title.
Do I need to re-think, should I always include the section, and if no
section is given then use section_id = 1 (root section).
Does the structure of my controller / actions / URL''s seem correct?

Ex /page/78 send to action show_by_id /page/about send to action show_by_title Have a look in the agile book. There is a good example in there. I use the method here under to create an uniq_title_id (based on the page title) that is url compatible for each of my pages in my page model in a before_create filter (this app is in french) ex (in french) : Page about "ruby on rails" will have a uniq_txt_id : page_about_ruby_on_rails def create_uniq_txt_id foo = self.title.downcase.strip foo.gsub!(/[ÀÁÂÃâäàãáäåāăąǎǟǡǻȁȃȧẵặ]/,''a'') foo.gsub!(/[ëêéèẽēĕėẻȅȇẹȩęḙḛềếễểḕḗệḝ]/,''e'') foo.gsub!(/[ÌÍÎĨÏiìíîĩīĭïỉǐịįȉȋḭɨḯ]/,''i'') foo.gsub!(/[ÒÓÔÕÖòóôõōŏȯöỏőǒȍȏơǫọɵøồốỗổȱȫȭṍṏṑṓờớỡởợǭộǿ]/,''o'') foo.gsub!(/[ÙÚÛŨÜùúûũūŭüủůűǔȕȗưụṳųṷṵṹṻǖǜǘǖǚừứữửự]/,''u'') foo.gsub!(/[ỳýŷỹȳẏÿỷẙƴỵ]/,''y'') foo.gsub!(/[œ]/,''oe'') foo.gsub!(/[ÆǼǢæ]/,''ae'') foo.gsub!(/[ñǹń]/,''n'') foo.gsub!(/[Çç]/,''c'') foo.gsub!(/[ß]/,''b'') foo.gsub!(/[œ]/,''oe'') foo.gsub!(/[ij]/,''ij'') foo.gsub!(/[\s\''\"\\\/\?\.\=\+\&\%]/,''_'') foo.gsub!(/_+/,''_'') # test if exist bar = Scoop.find_by_uniq_txt_id(foo) foo = foo + ''_'' + self.user.login unless bar.nil? self.uniq_txt_id = foo end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Nordic languages generally only have å, ä and ö (+their variations) besides normal ascii. This doesn''t apply to Icelandish, tho, they have quite a lot of different acutes etc. Which reminds me... Shouldn''t this be ''ss'' instead of ''b'' (assuming it''s the German double s):> foo.gsub!(/[ß]/,''b'')//jarkko -- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://odesign.fi _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

I have it, but its a bit too much for me at the moment, im looking a lot
simpler.
But on that note I''m thinking since every page served will include a
refrence to the section the page is in I should have a section
controller and not a page controller.
The Section controller would have the following actions:
view_all_pages
view_page
view_latest_pages
And I would have the following URL''s / routing / code:
*domain.com/section/*
map.connect '':section'', :controller =>
''section'', :action =>
''view_all_pages''
def view_all_pages
@section = Section.find_by_name(params[:section])
@pages << @section.pages
end
*domain.com/section/page*
map.connect '':section/:page'', :controller =>
''section'', :action =>
''view_page''
def view_page
params[:section] ||= 1
@section = Section.find_by_name(params[:section])
@page << @section.page.view_by_title(params[:page])
end
*domain.com/page*
map.connect '':page'', :controller =>
''section'', :action => ''view_page''
*domain.com/section/archive*
map.connect '':section/archive'', :controller =>
''section'', :action =>
''view_all_pages''
*domain.com/section/latest*
map.connect '':section/latest'', :controller =>
''section'', :action =>
''view_latest''
def view_latest_pages
@section = Section.find_by_name(params[:section])
@page << @section.pages.view_latest
end
Possible flash messages: page not found, section not found, no pages in
this section
