Change path_names for all of resource

Question

How can I change a rails resource route so that each one is prepended by a parameter that needs to be passed? The tricky part however, is that the parameter needs to be passed after the controller, but before the action.

Something like so:

/posts/:type/new
/posts/:type/edit

and so on..

Answer 1

You probably want something like this, where you have seperate routes which route to the same controller:

namespace :posts do
  resources :public, controller: "posts"
  resources :private, controller: "posts"
end

This gives you /posts/public/* and /posts/private/* .
