Namespaces, routing and Picto/Conversatio/Conclave

[Dan B]

Is there a simple way to change the routing so that Conclave, for
example, shows up as Meetings or Events? I appreciate the separation
of namespaces but my audience doesn't always appreciate the latin.

Yep, you can update your routes from something like:

namespace(:conclave) do |conclave|
conclave.resources :events, :member => {:map => :get, :attendees => :get}
end

to

namespace(:conclave, :path_prefix => 'meetings') do |conclave|
conclave.resources :events, :member => {:map => :get, :attendees => :get}
end

Note the :path_prefix option. This option is available also for
mapping resources, etc.

Thanks Al. That seems straightforward enough. That would replace map.routes_from_plugin 'tog_conclave' in my app's config/routes.rb file, right? Or would I need to change config/desert_routes.rb in the plugin?

I know that I could code that desert_routes.rb

I would recommend you NOT to change a file from the plugin, so it will
be easier for you to update the code. So removing the
"map.routes_from_plugin 'tog_conclave'" from your routes.rb and adding
those routes from desert_routes.rb to it should be ok (you will ned to
add "map." to each block).

But in fact, I have nothing against changing the default routes of the
plugin to match something like what you are trying to achieve.

I agree that I shouldn't touch the plugin (even the default routes)... it's easier to update if it hasn't been altered. I just know that if I ask the question now, it is forever recorded online with Google Groups and when I forget the answer in a few months, I'll be able to retrieve it!

It also makes it easier to submit patches to the various plugins.

Thanks again for the responses.
