Namespaces, dynamic links and routing

Hello all!

I am new to all of this and I am trying to accomplish a couple things, I am hoping that someone will be able to assist me…

First -

I am trying to set up a namespace within a dynamic link. I have created an admin namespace and I need to following link to go to ../admin/people/xxx

<div class="inner">
  <p><%= link_to(person) do %>
      <strong><%= person.fname %> <%= person.lname %></strong>
  <% end %></p>
  <p><%= person.title %></p>
  <p><%= person.position.capitalize %></p>
</div>

Secondly, the current route resolves to address.com/people/{:id} and I would like to it resolve to address.com/{:user_name} and I am not sure how to get this to work. I have tried a few different options but I am not quite sure what I am doing here.

resources :people, only: [:index, :show] do
    resources :pubs, except: [:create, :new, :edit, :destroy]
end

I have attempted to add —> get 'people/:id/user_name' => 'people#user_name', as: :user_name
but this has not worked.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Jason,

I assume you're talking about Ruby on Rails. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

1. There are a couple of ways of generating links but I think the clearest
is using a URL helper. You can see all the helpers corresponding to
routes.rb by invoking `rake routes`. The first column is the helper's
prefix. For example, if it reads `users` then the corresponding helpers
`users_url` (full URL, including schema, host and port) and `users_path`
(only the path component).

2. If I understand your intent correctly then you want to do: get
":user_name", to: "people#show". For example /greg will be routed to
PeopleController#show action and params[:user_name] will be set to "greg".

Hope that helps.

Also, if that is the case, other forums (Rails specific ones) might be able
to provide better support.

Cheers
