Hello,
I'm not sure if this has been answered before but I couldn't find anything in the few searches I did before posting.
Anyway, here is what I'm trying to do:
I have 3 resources: One, Two, and Three
map.resources :ones do |ones| ones.resources :threes, :name_prefix => "one_" end
map.resources :twos do |twos| twos.resources :threes, :name_prefix => "two_" end
map.resources :threes
Now, in my controllers and views, I can access the following three sets of URL helpers (or named routes): one_threes_path two_threes_path threes_path
Now my question is how do *cleanly* determine which path method to use?
What I've done is defined in my Three controller a method called "determine_threes_path" and it looks like this:
def determine_threes_path eval "#{path_method_prefix}threes_path" end
and path_method_prefix is a method that determines the value "one_", "two_", or "" depending on the values in the params hash.
I've done this for all the path methods that I need and then defined them all as helper methods so they are accessible in the view as well.
Is there an existing solution to this problem or does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this in a more structured fashion?
Thank you in advanced for any help anyone can provide.
