[Brug-talk] Controllers owning controllers

[Thomas Richard]

Hey,

well I'm using it right now and seems to work fine. The other line
might be a little hack or something but i wouldn't know how else i
could do it.

 map.connect ':dummy', :controller => 'redirector', :action => 'redirect'

Otherwise if someone would type in something like app/projects i'd get
an error. Now i just send it to a redicert controllor wich reads out
the dummy paramater and redirects you to the right page. Prolly not
the rails way but it works fine.

Also, is there a way to change the standard line: "1 error prohibited
this employee from being saved"? I've been searching for this but i
can't really find anything anywhere.

Greetings
Thomas
