double directories in url

1

I’m moved some controllers to app/admin/

and add this to the routes

map.connect ‘admin/:controller/:action/:id’

The controllers have the admin prefix :

class Admin::DoSomethingController < ApplicationController

…

After the first time accessing the url the ‘admin’ dir is added again. The result url looks like this:

http://…/admin/admin/do_something/edit/1

How can this be fixed?? Ideas , anyone?

Why not just remove that route? I do the same thing as you but don't have that route... just a single route to map "/admin" to the default controller in my admin area.

I'm having a similar-but-different problem.

I'm working on a wiki with webs (books in i2 parlance), so the normal url reads   http://sitename.com/Web/WikiWordTopic

(do I use ":requirements" to make sure?)

so the admin interface for doing things that the normal wiki user can't is

  http://sitename.com/admin/web for the list   http://sitename.com/admin/web/Web for a specific web   http://sitename.com/admin/web/Web/WikiWordTopic for a specific topic

and drill down for its attributes.

Yes, I still have things to sort out like what the urls are for the user to login and return to the access controlled topic (or is that done via cookies), edit a topic ... and of course what all that looks like in the mappings...

1. Philip could you post the line from your routes.rb, please, to clarify.

2. If you move the controllers to app/controllers/admin do you have to add    the         Admin:: prefix?

Or, to ask it all another way, is there a different way to compartmentalise both the code and the URL?      (such as .../do_something/1?admin perhaps)
