Problems with embedding Toto in Rails about toto HOT 8 CLOSED

I changed the :root in my config.ru to be "index" instead of blog. So that works when the url is localhost:9292/blog/ and not localhost:9292/blog which is understandable. Is there a way to ensure the localhost:9292/blog without the trailing slash works too? Also, this technique fails when you try the read-on links... they do not append the /blog into the constructed URL and hence those links do not work out of the box.

In my rhtml template I prepend the hrefs dumping article.path with /blog which produces a working url. That sucks.

Also, in toto's init I check if path.nil? is true before trying to build the route. If it is, I simply set it to '/' and it then works for both /blog and /blog/. Again.. an unecessary hack?.... Anyone else using Toto this way???

ack thpfft...

Hey, so I looked into this, and the problem was that path_info was "", when doing a request to /blog, instead of / which was expected. I pushed a fix in v0.3.1, tell me how it goes. Also, note that toto will have no idea that the url is actually /blog, it will see it as /.

Ok. Thanks for the fix to path_info. Now you're telling me that no matter what the url is set to, http://example.com or http://example.com/blog/ toto will continue to just see '/' for generating links to articles? Is there a way to use url perhaps? Thanks..

from toto.

hehe no, the path will be / for /blog, the url var will always be whatever you set it to in the config, which should be http://example.com/blog/ in this case.

Ok.. so in the ERB templates... it will be necessary to preface article.path with something. yick.

from toto.

Well, you could also just use article.url, which is effectively a permalink

from toto.

MMM.. article.url. Okay. Odd thing about that method is it renders the permalink with a trailing slash, which then raises a 404 exception when you try and venture forth there.

Really? the end slash shouldn't pose a problem, in fact path ends the url with a slash too..
