Rails - Dec 2005 - How to handle a non existing action in a controller?

Hello, i''m currently building a website in which i have to customise
the
url to the data.

An example:
i have a company which is situated in Amsterdam and it''s name is Ruby, 
then i would like to have the following URL:

/companies/amsterdam/ruby/

But since there are a lot of cities that have companies i can''t make a 
define for all of these.

How to fix?


Thanks in advance,

Rick

You could set up a route in config/routes.rb something like:

  map.connect ''/companies/:city/:company_name'',
              :controller => ''companies'',
              :action => ''show''

That would give you params[:city] and params[:company_name] to work 
with. So in your controller you could do something like:

class CompaniesController < ApplicationController
  def show
    @company = Company.find_by_name(params[:company_name])
    @city = City.find_by_name(params[:city])
  end
end

Hope that is a start.
