Maybe something like this would work:
in the user model:
has_many :posts, :dependent => :destroy
def to_param
username
end
in the route:
map.resources :posts, :path_prefix => ":username"
Then in the view:
post_url(post, :username => "donaldduck")
In the controller:
user = User.find_by_usernam
After diving into a few mentioned scenarios (thanks Frederick) the
polymorphic_path and polymorphic_url is what i was looking for.
thanks guys

Let me see if i can be more clear, and i will try some of the
suggested solutions
Im trying to make the route paths dynamic.
Lets say I have 2 models document, and article
I would have paths like
document_path(document), documents_path, new_document_path etc...
and similar for article

If your routes are set up in the default RESTful style, then you
should just be able to call:
<%= link_to 'show', object %>
...and the routing system will get what you mean. If things are more
complicated, you may need of the other solutions here. Or, you could
call a named route like this:

Hi Bob,
It depends on how you have your controllers setup - really. For
instance, I have a Universal controller template that 37 other
controllers use.
class UniversalTemplatesController < ApplicationController
def index
@objects =
params[:controller].singularize.camelize.constantize.f
excellent. thank you.
i further step.
I have a polymorphic association where im trying to achieve something
similar.
im feeding an xml file to a swf.
the xml iterates over the poly model, but it belongs_to many different
objects.
but the xml file is called from the poly controller. so the abo
