Shallow routing was added to Rails 2.2, and encourage you to check it out. I never use deeply nested routes myself, because I don't see the point in adding information, that you already have, to the URL.
By setting :shallow => true on the resource mappings, this: GET forums/:forum_id/subsection/:subsection_id/topics/topic_id will turn into this: GET topics/topic_id Ryan Bates has an episode on this if you're interested: http://railscasts.com/episodes/139-nested-resources On May 18, 3:24 pm, Rick DeNatale <rick.denat...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 1:16 AM, sso <strongsilent...@gmail.com> wrote: > > These are the routes I would like: > > map.forums_new_topic 'forums/:forum_id/:subsection_id/topics/ > > new', :controller => "topics", :action => "new" > > map.forums_show_topic > > 'forums/:forum_id/:subsection_id/:topic_id', :controller => > > "topics", :action => "show" > > > however no matter which order they're in it seems like it always tries > > to use the "show" route and it crashes because "topics" isn't a id. > > > Suggestions?
