Rails 3 : route a resource to another name
Solution 1
You can add a new resource and specify foo as the controller:
resources :toto, :controller=>"foo"
This will point all the actions to "foo", but there is a gotcha. I think you will run into problems with the links on the page, if you are using foo_url or something like that. So you would have to figure out a way to create the URLs dymanically based on the controller in "request.path".
Solution 2
This will let you rename paths seen by the user but keep the original name of your controllers in the code:
scope(:path_names => { :new => "neu", :edit => "bearbeiten" }) do
resources :categories, :path => "kategorien"
end
Solution 3
If I understand you correctly, you want to just use another path.
resources :foo, path: 'toto'
Now you will have:
GET /toto foo#index
GET /toto/:id foo#show

I have a CRUD controller for a model.
Doing
resources :foo
allows me to route on/foo/:id
, etc. for calling actions.I want add a route for a translation of 'foo' in another language. Let's say 'toto'. So I want all the
/toto/:id
, etc., routes to act exactly like the/foo/:id
, etc., routes.How may I achieve that?
