Thanks for your answer Fred. Your example is slightly different than mine and easier to deal with.
In your example, the only missing part is the list of posts available at: *http://domain.com/categories/:cat_id/posts* You're right, this list is easy to implement and, providing that your posts have a unique ID, a link to edit a post would link to *http://domain.com/posts/:post_id/edit* Then, the actions on a post are handled by the generator. The same pattern applies for the comments. Now, imagine you also have some tags to manage in your application. Let's say a tag can be applied to many posts with a different weight each time. For example: "post 1" has tags Programming (50%) and Design (50%) "post 2" has tags Programming (20%) and Design (80%) (Sorry for the stupid example, I just want to illustrate my problem.) You have a generated module to manage tags here: *http://domain.com/tags* Then you want to list the tags of a post. You reuse the list developed to display your posts and get it here: *http://domain.com/posts/:post_id/tags* So far, so good. But in this page, you want the edit button to display a page where you can edit the weight of a tag for the current post. So you can't link to: *http://domain.com/tags/:tag_id/edit* Basically, you need an admin generator to work on the association between Posts and Tags. You can do it with the standard admin generator only if you give a unique ID for each record in the association table (let's call it PostTag). But you'll have to deal with URLs like this: *http://domain.com/post-tags/:postTag_id/edit* I would prefer URLs like this: *http://domain.com/posts/:post_id/tags**/:tag_id/edit* This requires to propagate the post_id in all links of the PostTag admin module. That's what I want to implement in my custom generator. I think it gives better URLs, especially if you use slugs instead of ids. Any comment on this possible enhancement ? Is it useless ? Am I missing something ? Thanks Damien 2009/2/5 fredlab <[email protected]> > > Hey, > > This is a missing feature. What I am doing in the admin generator I am > developping.
