hey everyone, im working on my very first project using ruby on rails, and I have a question about the controllers im setting up. the website is pretty simple, there are a few sections, news, shows, bios, photos, links, those types of things. My question is: how is the best way to structure the controllers, should I have a public controller that handles all of those areas, since most of them are quick view and a detailed view, or should they each be individual controllers (ie: newsController, showsController, etc)?? if the best method is to have it all in one "public" controller, then how is my routes.rb setup to accomodate clean urls, so the "public" part is not displayed, http://urlhere/home, http://urlhere/shows and NOT http://urlhere/public/shows. keep in mind - public - would be the name of all the publically accessible actions/areas of the website, and is not to be confused with the public directory where the image/styles/javascripts are placed. Thanks for any advice someone can offer! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

just use a map with options e.g....
# application routes
map.with_options(:controller => ''application'') do |site|
site.site_currency ''system/currency'',
:action =>
''change_currency''
site.site_login ''system/login'',
:action =>
''login''
end
You can see my path is nothing like that controller name...
hope that helps
Tim
