prefix param rails routes

Question

I'm using rails3 and I want to have a route prefix like below:

I have the following in my routes:

require 'resque/server'

Woofound::Application.routes.draw do
  scope "/:my_param" do
    resource :users
  end
end

And then I have the following in my application controller:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
   before_filter :check_param

   private
   def check_param
     unless Myobject.find_by_param(param[:my_param])
       raise "You must add this param"
     end
   end
end

And then in my routes I want to have be able to access the user_path(@user) without having to do

user_path(:param_for_route_name_spacing, @user)

If you need more clarity let me know.

And in short I want to have a parameterized prefix for my route with the parameter automatically being passed back into the parameterized namespace without having to add it as the first argument to am object path.

Answer 1

try

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  def user_path(user)
    super(:param_for_route_name_spacing, user)
  end
end
