I'm just starting a new project and I was interested in how to use admin areas with namespaces. I read both articles above, and I think the real deal would be to use 2 controllers, one being with 'admin' namespace. On the views, I think the best way to keep DRY, would be to use probably some admin layout, and reuse partials from the public views. That's possible using the right arguments to render. Let's say you've got a Product and User models. From within views/admin/products/index.html.erb one could use < render :partial => /products/index > or something like that.
Anyway, the reason for the post is, that I was reading the Rails Guides (rake doc:guides), and there is this interesting one about routing => "Rails routing from the outside in" which explains a whole lot of stuff. And I came up with this solution (but didn't test it yet) for the unused actions on the public controllers and views. map.with_options(:only => [:index, :show]) do |public| public.resources :products, :users end map.namespace(:admin) do |admin| admin.resources :products, :users end I think this can solve the issue, by using 2 controllers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
