I want to group my controllers into subdirectories as a matter of internal organization, but I do not want to have these subdirectories automatically interpreted as some latent desire on my part to create additional namespaces. Ideally, these "nested" controllers should continue to behave as if they were right at the root of my controllers directory without any extra prefixes attached to any URLs. For example: app/controllers/subdir1/foo_controller.rb should be accessible via /foo/index NOT /subdir1/foo/index I understand why namespaces are a very useful feature in many situations, mine simply doesn''t happen to be one of them. Is there any way to shut this off, or at least specify a default namespace in a generic catch-all style route?

Why not make it a shallow route? in your routes.rb file do namespace.resources :foo, :shallow => ''true'' Then rake routes and check that it''s had the desired effect with no errors (routes with the same name etc) On Mar 3, 6:47 pm, khiltd <khilt...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I want to group my controllers into subdirectories as a matter of > internal organization, but I do not want to have these subdirectories > automatically interpreted as some latent desire on my part to create > additional namespaces.

You can try adding a line to your config/environment.rb, like so:
config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/subdir )
Pros: This way you can define controllers normally, outside a Subdir
module, and they''ll act as normal.
Cons: You''ll have to add things to your load path manually.

The problem is not that the controllers fail to load, it''s that the dispatcher interprets all path separators in their names as nested module definitions whether you like it or not. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Worked as I described. Try it out on a new project and see what happens.
