I have a requirement to be able to do things like this: A user creates "actionitems" which are just task notes. An actionitem might not be associated with a project, or a meeting, or assigned to another user, etc. Later, it might be attached to a meeting; then all actionitems associated with that meeting can be listed; individual items can be updated, etc. Also, there might be several meetings associated with a given project. We want to list those, list the actionitems associated with particular projects, etc.
I have a lot of this worked out using Chained, but there's a problem. I've got controller classes like: C::P::Actionitems C::P::Meetings C::P::Users::Profile::Actionitems C::P::Users::Profile::Meetings C::P::Users::Profile::Meetings::Actionitems etc It gets yukkie fast. I'm looking for a way to, -- as the documentation says -- "redispatch a chain through any controller or namespace you want," and I'd certainly like to stay DRY. I need to be able to mix and match methods, so I can serve URLs like these: /project/list # self explanatory /meeting/list # self explanatory /project/*/meeting/list # meetings associated to a project /user/*/project/list # projects user is member of /user/*/actionitem/create # unassociated item /user/*/actionitem/*/edit # unassociated item /user/*/meeting/*/actionitem/list # items associated to a meeting /user/*/meeting/*/actionitem/*/edit # edit a particular meeting's item /user/*/project/*/meeting/*/actionitem/*/edit # yada yada In this scenario, actions may be endpoints in some situations, links in others. To put it another way, is there a way to have actions like these, and use Chained to dispatch around? C::P::Users C::P::Actionitems C::P::Meetings C::P::Projects Is this even possible to do using Chained? If not, what would be recommended? /dennis
