Hello there fellow RoR enthusiasts,
I have been wrestling with rails 3 routes for hours trying to accomplish
the following:
I want to use the *same url helper* (photo_url) in my views but have a
different route match made depending on the format of the parameter I
pass. Seems simple enough, right??
If the parameter looks like nn.nn.nnnnnn.whatever, I want the param
passed to "photos#show" to be called :site_photo_id. If the parameter
looks like an integer, I want the param passed to be :id.
I have tried the following:
match "/photos/:site_photo_id", :to => "photos#show", :as => "photo",
:constraints => {:site_photo_id => /\d{2}\.\d{2}\..*/}
match "/photos/:id", :to => "photos#show", :as => "photo",
:constraints => {:id => /\d+/}
If, in my view, I use a string like
"/photo/#{photo.id}"
it works.
But, again, I want to be able to use
photo_url(photo.id)
Can I do that?
TIA,
Dan
