PORails routes for particular setup

Body
copied!<p>I am new to rails and have a question on how to best route my particular application. I am using a legacy database so the schema is already set and complicates things a bit. The layout of the app includes a top navigation bar that includes 'users' and then for a particular 'user' there is another navigation bar to display/edit a variety of forms. For example once a particular 'user' is queried there are seperate forms for 'general information' and 'account information', etc. </p> <p>The setup I have now is to have a 'users' namespace to correspond to the top level navigation and in the namespace have the second level of navigation: 'general', 'project', etc. With this setup each form selected from the second level of navigation has its own controller which seems a bit odd. </p> <pre><code> namespace :users do resources :general, :project end </code></pre> <p>This allows me to have the following urls where :id belongs to 'user'</p> <pre><code>/users/general/:id /users/general/:id/edit /users/account/:id /users/account/:id/edit </code></pre> <p>Does this seem reasonable or does anyone have any other ideas on how to deal with a nested navigation setup in a RESTful way? The legacy database complicates in that I do not have a 'general','account' model or DB table. For each form I need to pull from several models/tables that have associations with the 'user' model. Having a 'general' controller while not having a 'general' model does not seem very rails like which is what is bothering me.</p>
