Hey all, can''t find the answer to this through the powers of Google. How can I get a "catch-all" route for anything that doesn''t get mapped otherwise. So basically, the idea I want is to have something like: map.connect "*", :controller => "page", :action => "redirect" and call it good. I''ve tried overriding a couple of methods, but there has to be a way to set this up. (none of my overriding trickery worked) My main problem is that I''ll have urls that will go any number of "/"''s deep, so its hard to configure/type all these in obviously. Any help is appreciated! -Nick

Try this: map.connect ''*route'', :controller => ''page'', :action => ''redirect'' In PageController#redirect, you will have access to params[:route], and it will be an Array. Run with this, and tell us how it worked. Hope that helps ! -- Fran?ois Beausoleil http://blog.teksol.info/
Sweet! Worked like a charm. I dont really actually care about the route results as I''m just looking at the URI info passed in through the request params. Either way, she works now!
