How can I make resources_controller ignore a path_prefix

[Martyn Loughran]

In this example "anything" is just a string which is irrelevant from a
resources perspective:

map.with_options(:path_prefix => "anything") do |thing|
thing.resources :posts
end

This doesn't work:

* Resources controller tries to load the route segment as a class

Would be grateful for some pointers for the best way around this.

Thanks,

Martyn

Hi Martyn,

RC works with namespaces (in routes), so it should be pretty easy to
adapt to fix the problem you;re having.

Would you be interested in contributing some specs and/or a patch?

Cheers,
Ian

Thanks Ian. The trouble is, I've hardly used resources controller
myself, so I'm not really familiar enough with the API to have a good
feeling for the correct API would be. If there's a way to read to
routes definition and realize that the path prefix should be ignored
then that would seem to be the cleanest option; I suspect it's not
possible.
