It sounds like it is generally recommended either not to nest controllers at
all or at most by one level. However this seems to relate mostly to
resources. Interactive functionality generally works well with resources,
but for a complete website there is often additional content that contains
information not suitable for resources, but that still uses the same views
mechanism for consistency.
I've got some resources and also some content that doesn't suit using
resources and it is convenient to store the content in hierarchical
directories (?namespaces). The content is written as rails views. All worked
OK under rails 2 but I'm struggling to get routing to work under rails 3.
For example if you have an app/views directory structure such as:
views >
level1
level2
level3
and would to place views at each of these levels, including an index action,
what is the best way to create route(s) in routes.rb to accommodate this?
Using the default wildcard route of match
':controller(/:action(/:id(.:format)))' results in the top level working but
the index action for level2 results in an action not known for level1
controller from the router.
I've experiemented with various combinations of namespace, scope and match
statements, but none seem to cater for this seemingly simple requirement to
match a nested set of views to urls.
Maybe I'm missing a trick here - is there a better way to structure
hierarchical non-resource content but still use the facilities in the rails
framework? I guess I could combine rails with some other framework, but
would like to keep everything within rails if possible.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
