Namespaced routes in rails 1

I'm working with some legacy code with the last version of rails 1. Upgrading to a later version of rails isn't possible and as such map.namespace is a private method in this version, otherwise I'd be using it.

I have several resources which I have nested into a submenu for simplicity. Their controllers are all within the folder of that submenu and all inherit that controller's namespace.

I'm having major issues with the sub elements. I have mapped the resources and applied a prefix to them in the form of

map.resources :subitem, :path_prefix => "/sub_menu"

but I'm having major issues with using RESTFul methods on these nested obje开发者_开发问答cts. The paths that I'm trying to use, say to delete an object simply do not work.

I'm refactoring this current code base so there's very little I can do, and there's very little I can find on rails 1 routes online. It's a bit of a finicky issue but maybe I've missed something simple about routes.

Do I simply need to manually write out every particular route I can use and then manually prefix it, or is there a simpler way?

My other routes work fine, I simply cannot use the

subitem_path(subitem) :method => :delete

function in my link to

So I figured out how to layout the routes appropriately so I could access the paths

Add to the above route the specified controller you're using and the routes will map accordingly

map.resources :subitem, :path_prefix => "/sub_menu, :controller => "submenu/subitem"

Thanks!
