I''m developing a site compound by a static part and a dynamic one.
I still use things like "link_to(...)", etc in the static part within
rhtml
files.
In the static part, I don''t have the notion of controller and model.
Reading
some article about the subject, I got the following situation:
- created a controller, let me call it "static";
- put my rhtml files under app/views/static/.
Except for the "index" page, all the rest are static pages.
The problem is that I have a lot of static pages to write and it would be
confuse to put all them in this directory.
For instance, if I have a menu with several submenus and each submenus could
have others subsubmenus, I would like the following structure:
-app/views/static/
- menu1
- menu1/submenu1
- menu1/submenu2
- menu2/
- menu2/submenu1
- menu2/submenu2
- otherfile
I know I could do something like:
-app/views/static/
- menu1
- menu1_submenu1
- menu1_submenu2
But I would prefer the other much cleaner solution.
I first tried some links like:
link_to => ''id'' => ''submenu1''
The link worked as I expected, but after noticing it didn''t work, I
remembered that Rails would try to run the action ''menu1'' with
the ''submenu1'' as a parameter, but I''m not using this
parameter in this
action.
I would not like to write an action for every view I want in a
subdirectory...
What would be the Rails way to achieve what I want?
I want Rails to render all the remaining url after the
''static'' controller
as the local url after app/views/static.
Let me know if I was not clear. Sorry for the big message, but I
couldn''t
make my question clear enough in a small message.
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo.

Something like map.connect ''static/*url_parts'', :controller => "static", :action => "show" Have the show action of the static_controller put the url_parts array back together with ''/'' into ''menu1/submenu1'' and then process the template at app/views/static/menu1/submenu1.rhtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
