I want to be able to have routes like,

/users/1/comments/

/users/1/comments/1/show

/users/1/comments/1/edit

/user/1/comments/new

The user and comment models have a one-to-many relationship. How do I do it?

You don't route to models, you route to controller methods.

Can you be more specific of what you exactly want? Is this what your URL's should look like? And where should they route to?

My apologies for the misguided question.

What I want to say is I have a User model with Users controller with 7 RESTful actions (index, show, edit, create, new, edit, delete). I also have a Comment model with Comments controller with 7 RESTful actions. I want to have the routes for comments embedded under the user route as the example I gave above.

So if I want to see all the comments made for user with id 1, I go to /users/1/comments , which would be the Comments controller's index action with the user id supplied as a parameter. Likewise, if I want to see one of these comments I would go here, /users/1/comments/1/show . So from what I know in Rails (my apologies again for mentioning Rails in a Fuelphp forum but it's used just for sake of explanation, I understand that it is silly to require a Rails feature in Fuel) you can do the following

resources :users do

resources :comments

end

And you would get those routes. Is this possible in Fuel, if so how do I do it? I've bee trying to decipher the routes usage examples for the documentation but I couldn't go beyond the simple routing. Also watched the FuelPHP from Scratch Series video 8 but couldn't find what I am looking for.

You can do that quite easily, but you have to think about how you want the parameters appear in your controller method.

For /users/1/comments you can use the route

'users/(:num)/comments' => 'comments/index/$1',

and in your comments controller use

public function index($userid = null) { }

For links like /users/1/comments/new you can use the route

'users/(:num)/comments/(:any)' => 'comments/index/$2/$1',

and in your comments controller use

public function new($userid = null) { }

For the others, like /users/1/comments/1/show, you can use the route

'users/(:num)/comments/(:num)/(:any)' => 'comments/$3/$1/$2',

and in your comments controller use

public function show($userid = null, $commentid = null) { }

Define them with the longest one first.

Thank you, that worked for me.
