Ok, it's good to know I'd need to use the pattern-matching router and not the parametric one.
Basically what I'm trying to do is avoid having all my controllers in the one directory - in a recent Kohana project for example I had them split up in different subdirectories, according to user role: admin, manager etc. So for now I'll just have to have controllers called admin_courses, admin_users, admin_files etc. and have those in the URLs - when I've got more time I'll work out how to change the URLs (which shouldn't affect how the app works if I don't hard code any URLs I'm assuming) On Aug 14, 6:08 pm, Jonathan Lundell <[email protected]> wrote: > On Aug 14, 2011, at 3:26 AM, fishwebby wrote: > > > I'm struggling with the routing in web2py and I'm hoping someone can > > point me in the right direction (I'm a web2py newbie). > > > I want to change this (which works): > > >http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/admin_courses/index > > > to this: > > >http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/courses > > You could probably figure out how to do this eventually using the > pattern-matching router (the parametric router won't do it for you), but it's > going to be a lot easier if you start out without the need to rename/split > controller items. > > It's hard to say what would work best without knowing more about the patterns > you'd see and the controllers and functions you have. > > > > > > > > > > > but I can't get it to work with the variousroutes.pyfiles.
