Rails - Jun 2007 - Access name_prefix from ApplicationController?

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I''m trying to use REST::RestController for my CRUD operations in an
app, which works great unless I''m using a name_prefix in routes.db. In
this case, it tries to send me to users_path instead of
admin_users_path, which throws an exception.

Is there a way I can access the name_prefix from within
REST::RestController, so I can modify the resource_path and
resources_path methods to use the name_prefix if it''s set?

Thanks

As I can''t figure out how to access the name_prefix, the other way that
seems possible is to create an Admin::REST::RestController <
REST::RestController, which overloads the resource_path and resources_path
methods and hardcodes the ''_admin'' string.

So for the admin controllers I would use Admin::REST::RestController, and for
the others I would use REST::RestController. This would still be DRY in my
thinking because the only mmethods in the Admin version would be the two that
return the path.

I don''t like the hardcoded ''_admin'', but I
can''t see another way to do it.

Thanks,
