Add default value into prefix to my routes generated by the *_path methods

Question

I have added into my routes file prefix value to each map.resources line. So it all looks like this:

map.resources :subjects, :path_prefix => ':company'

I have even added this line for default behavior

map.connect ':company/:controller/:action/:id'

which is not necessary (I believe) because all the routes are handled with resources method.

I fetch the :company param in my before_filter method in ApplicationController. Everything works. But.

Is it possible to change the behaviour of all *_path methods that it would set company value for all generated urls by default with the one taken from the url? To make it work perfectly I would have to add company value as param for each _path method. I believe it is possible to make it automatic.

Answer 1

You should overwrite the default_url_options in your application controller.

class ApplicationController > ActionController::Base

  # ...

  def default_url_options(options)
    { :company => current_company.id }
  end

end
