The comment ate that code. I’ll try one more time

module ActionController
module PolymorphicRoutes
def build_named_route_call(records, namespace, inflection, options = {})
unless records.is_a?(Array)
record = extract_record(records)
route = ”
else
record = records.pop
route = records.inject(”") do |string, parent|
if parent.is_a?(Symbol) || parent.is_a?(String)
string << “#{parent}_”
else
string << “#{RecordIdentifier.send!(”singular_class_name”, parent)}_”
end
end
end

if record.is_a?(Symbol) || record.is_a?(String)
route << “#{record}_”
else
record = record.class unless record.is_a?(Class)
until (record.superclass == ::ActiveRecord::Base)
record = record.superclass
end
route << “#{RecordIdentifier.send!(”#{inflection}_class_name”, record)}_”
end

action_prefix(options) + namespace + route + routing_type(options).to_s
end
end
end

For rails 2.1, this code doesn’t quite work. I have tweaked it, and this seems to work for me. Just throw this into a file in your config/initializers folder.

module ActionController
module PolymorphicRoutes
def build_named_route_call(records, namespace, inflection, options = {})
unless records.is_a?(Array)
record = extract_record(records)
route = ”
else
record = records.pop
route = records.inject(”") do |string, parent|
if parent.is_a?(Symbol) || parent.is_a?(String)
string << “#{parent}_”
else
string << “#{RecordIdentifier.send!(”singular_class_name”, parent)}_”
end
end
end

Thanks for this post, it got me 90% there!
