Admin interface in Rails
- by yuval
I have an admin controller located in controllers/admin/admin_controller.rb
I also have a pages controller located in controllers/admin/pages_controller.rb
pages_controller.rb inherits from admin_controller.rb
in routes.rb, I have an admin namespace as such:
map.namespace :admin do |admin|
admin.resources :pages
end
I want the admin have basic CRUD functionality in pages_controller.rb (I know how to do that)
I want the index and show methods to be available to front-end users
I would like the show and index actions to use separate views, but the same code.
Questions:
Should I create a new pages_controller for the front-end, or share the methods index and show?
If share, how would I display separate views depending on whether the url is /admin/pages or /pages
If share, should I place pages_controller in /controllers/admin (where it is now) or just in /controllers?
Thank you very much.
