RedirectRouting =============== Forked by Seamus Abshere (seamus@abshere.net) Note: you may have to put ActionController::Routing::RouteSet::Mapper.send :include, RedirectRouting::Routes at the top of config/routes.rb. This plugin lets you do simple redirects straight from your routes.rb file: map.redirect '', :controller => 'events' This will make the root of your site redirect to the events controller, typically at /events. You can redirect any URL to any set of options, or event a string URL, like this: map.redirect 'test', 'http://example.com' GET /test, and you'll be redirected to my blog. You can also set the status to be a 301 permanent redirect instead of a temporary 302: map.redirect 'oldurl', 'newurl', :permament => true map.redirect 'oldurl', :controller => 'new_controller', :action => 'new_action', :permament => true Finally you can preserve wildcard paths map.redirect 'festivals/*path', 'http://example.com/events/festivals', :keep_path => :path map.redirect 'news/*articles', 'http://blog.example.com', :keep_path => :articles Motivation ---------- Why this plugin? Because if Rails Routing is supposed to be a Ruby replacement for mod_rewrite, then at least some redirect capability is called for. But more concretely, because there's no good alternative unless you're using Apache. The alternative options that I've been able to figure out are: * Configure your web server to do the redirect for you, which is trivial with mod_rewrite in Apache, but not so trivial with Mongrel, or * Manually create a controller for the sole purpose of redirecting, or * Tack the redirect onto another controller, which isn't very RESTful If there's demand, I'll add a switch for a permanent redirect, but I don't have the need yet. If you know of a simpler way to do this, please let me know.
