Hello, I am relatively new to ruby on rails, so this question might be easy. Rails does a lot of magic and I am not sure where to look up such things, because I don't know which part of the framework is to blame. I basically did the authlogic_example and fiddled around with the code afterwards. My routes.rb looks like this map.root ...
I noticed that in MVC 2 Preview 2, AreaRegistration is loading the routes for each area in an arbitrary order. Is there a good way to get one before the other?

Is this possible? http://www.website.com/en/us/controller/action http://www.website.com/en/gb/controller/action I understand it ca...
I'm trying to create twitter.com/rob to go to a dynamic page (using account/viewuser) as well as allowing twitter.com/help to go to a help page (help/index). The below code doesn't work in either order because the Default route handler always picks up ID as controller because controller/action/id are all optional. Is there any way to d...

The products_controller checks the url and treats it as a parameter, so '/widgets' would hit the index($url) function and pass 'widgets' to be the $url param. I then do a lookup like this checking a field called url: $product= $this->Pr...

I've been using Ruby for the first time on a project at my work, so I am still somewhat learning the ropes (and loving every minute of it). While I understand the point of the map.connect functions in the route.rb file, I don't understand the "resources" and "named route" features of Rails. I have my Rails book here and read it over se...
