Is it possible to have to have the root url configured so that the user is directed to a different page depending if they are logged in or not whilst also keeping the url the same? E.g If the user is logged in, I want www.example.com to show the Users#show action If the user is not logged in, I want www.example.com to the the Sessions#new action At the moment I have the root url configured to be the Users#show action and I have a ''login_required'' before filter on the Users#show action which redirects the user to Sessions#new if the user is not logged in. This works well but the URL is changed when the user is directed and so all nonlogged in users see www.example.com/login as the url when they come to the site. I want everybody to see www.example.com regardless of whether they are logged in or not. routes.rb map.root :controller => ''users'', :action => ''show'' map.login ''/login'', :controller => ''sessions'', :action => ''new'' Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

No, its not possible as far I know.

All files under config directory could not access any methods or
variables like ''session''. And it is must to have a different
urls for
different actions rendered in the browser.
Still you want to do that?
Use same controller and same action but render a partial based on your
stuff needed.
Thanks,

Tim,
You might consider a common view with two different partials - one for
each case.
routes.rb:
map.index ''/'',
:controller => ''pages'',
:action => ''welcome'',
:id => ''1-welcome-page''
controllers/pages_controller.rb:
def welcome
@page = Page.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # welcome.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @page }
end
end
views/pages/welcome.html.erb
<p>
<b>Title:</b>
<%=h @page.title %>
</p>
<% if logged_in? %>
<%= render :partial => ''layouts/welcome_back'' %>
<% else %>
<%= render :partial => ''layouts/please_login'' %>
<% end %>
