Mislav, I used 'opaque' as related to "not transparent".
I was frustrated that map.resources enforced such a tight coupling with param names and generated url helpers that I found myself wishing: "why isn't there an easy way to make the URLs more opaque?". Perhaps being able to "see through the url" to the underlying param names and url helpers is a poor metaphor - but that's just what speaks to me. As for path_name, I disagree. It's not the name of the path, it *is* the path (if you interpret path as something that is prefixed with path_prefix). So I just want to finish by saying (/me bangs his fist on the table) that this bike shed *must* be blue![*] Regards, Trevor [*] if you don't get that, google for "bikeshedding" :-) On 1/26/08, Mislav Marohnić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Jan 26, 2008 8:01 PM, Xavier Noria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > Why not just > > > > map.resources :tutors, :as => :tutores > > > It looks too much like polymorphic stuff in Rails.
