  1. POIncorrect Nested Module Routes
    text
    copied!<p>I'll preface this with the fact that I'm new to RoR. I have a class that resides in a nested module, <code>::Physical::Users::User</code>. The code is organized into paths such as app\controllers\physical\users. </p> <p>My problem comes when I try to use <code>form_for</code> like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;% form_for @user do |f| %&gt; ... &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>I get the error <code>ActionView::TemplateError undefined method 'physical_users_users_path'</code></p> <p>I understand that this has to do with rails expecting routes that don't match mine. In order to make my app work so that the resource :users goes directly to the correct directory (so that I don't have to use http:\myurl.com\physical\users\users\1', I put the following in my routes.rb file:</p> <pre><code>map.resources :users, :controller =&gt; 'physical/users/users' </code></pre> <p>When I run ">rake routes" I get the following:</p> <pre><code> users GET /users(.:format) {:controller=&gt;"physical/users/users", :action=&gt;"index"} POST /users(.:format) {:controller=&gt;"physical/users/users", :action=&gt;"create"} new_user GET /users/new(.:format) {:controller=&gt;"physical/users/users", :action=&gt;"new"} edit_user GET /users/:id/edit(.:format) {:controller=&gt;"physical/users/users", :action=&gt;"edit"} user GET /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=&gt;"physical/users/users", :action=&gt;"show"} PUT /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=&gt;"physical/users/users", :action=&gt;"update"} DELETE /users/:id(.:format) {:controller=&gt;"physical/users/users", :action=&gt;"destroy"} /:controller/:action/:id /:controller/:action/:id(.:format) </code></pre> <p>Is there a way to maintain the shorter url to my user resource and get <code>form_for</code> to look for the correct route?</p> <p>Again, I'm new, so if there's anything I'm missing in this explanation, let me know!</p> <p>--</p> <p>In response to replies below, the controller resides at app/controllers/physical/users/users_controller.rb.</p> <p>Changing the routing to use namespaces like:</p> <pre><code>map.namespace :physical do |physical| physical.namespace :users do |users| users.resources :users end end </code></pre> <p>generates routes that are consistent with what <code>form_for</code> is looking for, but then I lose the ability to use the URL http:\mysite.com\users\1.</p> <p>Thanks for the help so far!</p>
