Rails - May 2007 - Calling rails from a server-side include?

Hi,

	99% of my site is rails, but I have a tiny php section I just cant
get rid of (phpbb3). I''ve turned on server-side includes on my site and
my
phpbb3 template starts with this:

<!--#include virtual="/main/header" -->
...

	The problem is, rails isn''t recognizing that it was called as
"/main/header"; I get this error in my development.log:

ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match
"/forum/index.php"
with {:method=>:get}):

	Does anybody know how to get around this? I was thinking of just
adding a "/forum/*" route to explicitly point to the header, but then
there''s the problem of the footer... Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
:-)

	Thanks,
		Tyler

Okay, after hacking around a bit, I figured something out, but it''s
REALLY
hacky. :-)

Step #1: Include this code when rails starts up:

module ActionController
  class CgiRequest < AbstractRequest
    alias old_request_uri request_uri
    def request_uri
      if params[''RAILS_ROUTE'']
        if Array === params[''RAILS_ROUTE'']
          return params[''RAILS_ROUTE''][0]
        else
          return params[''RAILS_ROUTE'']
        end
      else
        return old_request_uri
      end
    end
  end
end

Step #2: reference rails from SSI this way:

<!--#include virtaul="/dispatch.fcgi?RAILS_ROUTE=/main/header"
-->

This is fragile and hacky, but it works for what I need!

  Cheers,
    Tyler
