Question

I am trying to create a route and a action that redirects the params.

Example when a user visits: www.mywebsite.com/photographer/flv/:ID/:filename

I want the user to be redirected to: www.someotherwebsite.com/photographer/flv/:ID/:filename

I have tried to accomplish with this solution without luck:

My controller URL:

def videore
redirect_to www.whateverwebsite.com + params[:all] 
end

And in routes:

match '/photographer/flv/:ID/:filename' => 'URL#videore'

Answer 1

This should do it:

In your controller action:

def videore
  redirect_to "http://www.whateverwebsite.com/photographer/flv/#{params[:id]}/#{params[:filename]}"
end

And in routes:

match '/photographer/flv/:id/:filename' => 'url#videore'

This assumes, of course, that ‘url’ is the name of your controller
