Whilist playing with routes I seem to have come across a solution that
works:
In my ''home'' controller, I added an ''admin''
method (that will just be
a list of links to the various controllers in the admin namespace),
and in routes.rb, after the ''map.root'' line, I added this:
map.admin ''admin'', :controller => ''home'',
:action => ''admin''
Now example.com/admin and example.com/admin/users both work.
If there is a more idiomatic Rails way of doing it please let me
know! :-)
Cheers
Dave
