Question

My routes:

resources :events, :path_names => { :new => "organize" } do
    resources :forums
end

With these routes, I’ll get urls like /events/:event_id/forums/organize. I don’t want the path_names to propagate to my nested routes… Do I have to redefine path_names for them? Or use scope?

resources :events, :path_names => { :new => "organize" } do
    scope :path_names => { :new => "new" } do
        resources :forums
        # other nested resources...
    end
end

Or (my favorite, until you find a better solution ;))

resources :events, :path_names => { :new => "organize" }
resources :events, :only => [] do
    #nested resources...
end

Is there a more elegant way to do this? if you don’t think so, you can also tell me which one is the best in your opinion.

Answer 1

I went for the last option:

resources :events, :path_names => { :new => "organize" }
resources :events, :only => [] do
    #nested resources...
end
