    copied!<p>The two things to keep in mind when making an admin area are 1) you can create namespaces for routes to get the /admin URLs you're looking for and 2) you can have controllers inherit from other descendants of ActionController</p> <p>So to make an admin area, you'd want to have RESTful resources declared in a namespace (assumes Rails 3 routes):</p> <pre><code># routes.rb resources :users resources :posts resources :pages namespace :admin do |admin| match '/' =&gt; 'dashboard#index' resources :users resources :posts resources :pages end </code></pre> <p>The top set is the public ones and the bottom set gives you the admin routes like /admin/users/new and /admin/posts/1, etc. I'm also assuming you might want a "dashboard" so I'm setting up a route to the index method of an Admin::DashboardController</p> <p>Then you create an admin base controller that descends from ApplicationController. Use it to hold your admin area layout and your authentication filters:</p> <pre><code>class Admin::BaseController &lt; ApplicationController before_filter :require_user layout 'admin' end </code></pre> <p>Now make a directory in app/controllers called "admin". Make controllers in there as normal, but have them inherit from your base controller:</p> <pre><code># pages_controller.rb class Admin::PagesController &lt; Admin::BaseController # Controller code in here end </code></pre> <p>Make a corresponding directory in app/views for "admin" and you're good to go -- everything is namespaced out and views/controllers would behave like you think.</p> <p>You can always run "rake routes" to see all the admin routes.</p> <p>Hope that helps!</p>
