Using Rails Edge-style resource actions now

June 5th, 2007

I've just been working on a site that may have users sharing resourceful URLs and I want to use the new-style action routing from edge rails:

# old style
/people/1;edit

# new style
/people/1/edit

I've knocked up a quick file that can be dropped into /lib and required in environment.rb: fix_resource_routing.rb.

It just overrides the 1.2 methods with those specified in this patch.

    Just to let you know, the latest version of edge uses forward slashes instead of semicolons.

    Alex: This fix is for that very reason - apps running on stable can use the edge-style forward slashes. This means that their permalinks wont break when this style goes stable.
