hi guys,
basically following the rails plugin guide, i set up a plugin with routing, controllers, models, etc. now i'd also like to use the link/ url helper to do something like "link_to pluginName_path" or "redirect_to pluginName_firstPluginController_path", but just can't find out how.
my plugin routes are created from a yml config file which looks like:
defaults: base_route: :register process: [:profile, :confirm, :complete]
these routes are created by the plugin like:
module Register #:nodoc: module Routing #:nodoc: module MapperExtensions def register base_route = "/#{REGISTER_CONFIG['base_route']}" @set.add_route(base_route, {:controller => "#{REGISTER_CONFIG ['process'][0]}"})
REGISTER_CONFIG['process'].each do |step| @set.add_route("#{base_route}/#{step}", {:controller => step.to_s}) end end end end end ActionController::Routing::RouteSet::Mapper.send :include, Order::Routing::MapperExtensions
and included in the app's routes.rb like: map.register
this might not be the most beautiful code ever (improvements appreciated), but it works for now and sets up the following routes for i.e. an registration process:
/register /register/profile /register/confirm /register/complete
now how can i set up and use link/url helper methods for links or redirects to each of the steps in the registration process from views/ controllers of the app and from within the plugin?
hope anyone can help!
