I am also having problems with my delete link simply taking me to the Show action rather than Destroy. I tried the [:admin, user] syntax suggest above, but it does not solve the problem.

link_to ‘Destroy’, [:admin, user], :confirm => ‘Are you sure?’, :method => :delete

Anyone figure this out? I’m having a hard time digging for answers on this one.

also wonder how the syntax actually works…

its bad for rails when you see things like this that work, but no one fully understands what is going on there and why it works.

this is STILL such important information – not sure why it’s not in the rails guides????

No route matches {:action=>”edit”, :controller=>”admin/categories”}

‘Are you sure?’, :method => :delete %>

[...] Admin namespace我是照這篇做的，做了看版管理及文章管理。就一般論壇而言，像「看版管理」這種東西，一般人不會有新增、修改、刪除的權限（版主可能有修改），所以scaffold架出來的東西應該的確比較適合移到admin去，而給使用者的邏輯再手動打造。但我的實作有種不夠DRY的感覺，把view和controller的code複置兩份，感覺不太好。可以想見，其實可以利用繼承、共用函式等方式，將程式碼變的更精簡。這部份有更好的best practice嗎？ ( 6）用 Rake 撰寫自動化步驟，生假資料。寫一個 rake 可以達成以下步驟：「砍 db => 建 db => 跑 migration => 生種子資料」，另一個 rake 是生假文章與假論壇。 [...]

Slobodan Kovačević,
Just an addition to the above to make the process complete

In the admin controller wherever you see a location for the XML response you also need to add the admin name space so if you have something like

format.xml { render ml => @email_notification, :status => :created, :location => @email_notification }

You should change it to say
format.xml { render ml => @email_notification, :status => :created, :location => [:admin, @email_notification] }

Great article!! Just what I was after, thanks for that.

What exactly is [:admin, @category] doing? Just prefixing ‘/admin/’ in the path?

Does this technique have a name or is just modifying routes

Thanks
Rob
