Rails 4 Routing within Namespace

Question

I am trying to set the base address www.myplace.com/admin to be directed to www.myplace.com/admin/adminhub within the namespace coding below. I have tried every combination I can think of, but to no avail. I was trying to follow the same code used for the / of the app.

namespace :admin do
    ...
    get "adminhub"
    get 'admin', to: 'adminhub'

  end

No, I am trying to set www.myplace.com/admin to resolve to www.myplace.com/admin/adminhub. Within the namespace. — Argent

You could put a redirect in admin/admin_controller#admin redirect_to "/admin/adminhub", status: 301. It isn't best practice, but it seems that train left the station long ago :) — NM Pennypacker

@Pavan when I put that in and restart my server it errors out giving me: 'rb:84: syntax error, unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting keyword_do or '{' or '(' (SyntaxError) get '/sekret', to 'sekret#adminhub'' — Argent

Sounds like you want to redirect the browser to the new URL. You can do this with the redirect helper in the routes.

get '/admin', to: redirect('/admin/adminhub')

This allows you to redirect from one path to another. See the Redirection section in the Rails Routing Guide for more details.

I got this to work with: get '', to: redirect('/admin/adminhub') from within the namespace code. Thank you for your help.

Ah, makes sense. You might also be able to more that outside the namespace block if you don't want the awkward get ''
