I have done very little with customizing routes so this is new for me.
I would like to send users to my users controller only if it follows a particular pattern. I think that I might be able to use requirements for this?
I've got this so far, but it's not quite working.
map.user ':user', :controller => 'users', :action => 'show', :requirements => {:user => /[-+]/ }
I want this url to work www.domain.com/first-last
I want this domain to fail www.domain.com/firstlast
The problem is that "firstlast" goes to the users controller and fails. The only way to get out of it is a rescue with a redirect to a 404 page. I'd like to handle this in the routes instead of going to the controller.
Is that possible and if so, any help with what I have so far would be appreciated.
Thanks.
