Question

I want to have a namespaced controller called ‘portal’.

in this will be nested resources such as companies and products.

I’d like routes like :

/portal/:company_id/product/:id to work

I can get

/portal/company/:company_id/product/:id to work but would like to eliminate the ‘company’ in the url

Hope that is clear. Please keep in mind that I need the namespaced module portal to exist.

I think you could use scope to achieve what you want. Perhaps like this:

namespace "portal" do
  scope ":company_id" do
    resources :products
  end
end

That will generate the following routes:

    portal_products GET    /portal/:company_id/products(.:format)          {:action=>"index", :controller=>"portal/products"}
                    POST   /portal/:company_id/products(.:format)          {:action=>"create", :controller=>"portal/products"}
 new_portal_product GET    /portal/:company_id/products/new(.:format)      {:action=>"new", :controller=>"portal/products"}
edit_portal_product GET    /portal/:company_id/products/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"portal/products"}
     portal_product GET    /portal/:company_id/products/:id(.:format)      {:action=>"show", :controller=>"portal/products"}
                    PUT    /portal/:company_id/products/:id(.:format)      {:action=>"update", :controller=>"portal/products"}
                    DELETE /portal/:company_id/products/:id(.:format)      {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"portal/products"}

Edit: Accidentally used resource instead of resources. Fixed now.
