Hi Ryan, I specify :class_name in the router so that I can generate URLs that look like:
/thread /thread/new /thread/5/edit etc while having the requests dispatched to the ForumThreadController (forum_thread_controller.rb). Unfortunately, due to namespace constraints, I can't just call the controller ThreadController (or at least the associated generators yelled at me when I tried). -J On May 23, 3:20 pm, Ryan Bigg <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't get why you're doing :class_name in the routes.
