is there a way to do modules in rails 3 like zend framework modules ? In zend framework, you have a folder 'modules' like following structure:
/application/modules/admin
/application/modules/site
/application/modules/service
and it's routed in this way:
http://myapp.local/admin
http://myapp.local/service
http://myapp.local/ -- to site module (default).
How can I achieve this in Rails 3? There's a better way to do this type things in rails ?
Thanks in advANCE
How about controller namespaces?
# URL:
resources :projects # /projects
resources :people # /people
namespace "admin" do # /admin
resources :projects # /admin/projects
resources :people # /admin/people
end
namespace "service" do # /service
resources :what # /service/what
resources :ever # /service/ever
end
Controller paths:
app/controllers/projects_controller.rb
app/controllers/people_controller.rb
app/controllers/admin/projects_controller.rb
app/controllers/admin/people_controller.rb
app/controllers/service/what_controller.rb
app/controllers/service/ever_controller.rb
More information here:

This is sounding a little like Models and Routes for Rails 3. I wouldn't say you need a specific model for Admin, that would be an extension of the User model.
The rails routing guide might put some of this in perspective.
