Question

I have a controller named results_controller. It uses

resources :results

in the router.

One problem is that I don’t want people to be able to see the results page by typing in the following

www.example.com/results

Is there a way to put a redirect on that http://www.example.com/results without interfering with any of the other resources :results?

Answer 1

The simplest way would be to not generate that specific route:

resources :results, :except => :index
// or you can use
resources :results, :only => [:show, :destroy]
