Hello Friends, I have a requirement where I want to Have the following url “http://www.example.com/andy.something/office” where **andy.something is a dynamic value.**Now I am using a namespace which is :controller=>“system/office/office_profiles” and I have declared the route map.office_profile_link ‘/:profile_link/office’, :controller => “system/office/office_profiles”, :action => “show”, :conditions => { :method => :get } But when I am trying to access http://www.example.com/andy.something/office

Getting the following error

Routing Error

No route matches "/andy.something/office" with {:method=>:get}

So Please let me know where I am getting wrong.

Thanks
Abhis.

Hello Friends,

I have a requirement where I want to Have the following url "http://www.example.com/*andy.something*/office" where *andy.something is a dynamic value.

*Now I am using a namespace which is :controller=>"system/office/office_profiles"

and I have declared the route

map.office_profile_link '/:profile_link/office', :controller =>

Are you sure you want "_link" as part of the route name? Remember the *_url and *_path helpers are generated from your existing named routes. But thats not the issue at hand.

"system/office/office_profiles", :action => "show", :conditions => { :method => :get }

But when I am trying to access

http://www.example.com/*andy.something*/office

Getting the following error

Routing Error

No route matches "/andy.something/office" with {:method=>:get}

So Please let me know where I am getting wrong.

Thanks Abhis.

You're not doing anything necessarily wrong; Rails just automatically delimits bound parameters on periods. Tell the route to expect a "." in the :name parameter by adding a requirement (http:// guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#route-requirements) to the route like

map.office_profile_link '/:profile_link/office', :controller => "system/office/office_profiles", :action => "show", :conditions => { :method => :get }, :name => /(?:\w+)(?:\.\w+)?/ # of course using an appropriate regex for your cause
