highvoltage routing with locale.

[talhait07]

I am using this gem.I am facing a problem with routing.
I am getting something like this :
localehost:3000/pages/privacy-policy?locale=en
But i need the url to be :
localhost:3000/en/pages/privacy-policy

In my routes file i wrote:
scope ":locale", locale: /en|bn|hi/ do
match "/pages/:id" => 'pages#show', :as => :page, :format => false
end

what should i do now.

Hello @talhait07 I suggest that you read over the Rails I18n page here:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html

There are several components to getting Rails to work with localization.

Add a before filter to your Application controller

# app/controllers/application_controller.rb
before_action :set_locale

def set_locale
  I18n.locale = params[:locale] || I18n.default_locale
end

Disable the default High Voltage routes

# config/initializers/high_voltage.rb
HighVoltage.configure do |config|
  config.routes = false
end

Set up the routes file

# config/routes.rb
scope "/:locale", locale: /en|bn|hi/ do
  get "/pages/:id" => 'high_voltage/pages#show', :as => :page, :format => false
end

Add a page to the applcation

# app/views/pages/about.html.erb
<%= t 'hello' %>

Make sure that there are corresponding locale files

/config/locale/en.yml
/config/locale/bn.yml

One last note is there is a know issue with High Voltage.

You'll need to specify routes like this <%= link_to 'About Us', page_path(id: 'about') %>

Hopefully this is enough information to get you started with localization

Hi when i try to scope high_voltage with locale i get this error :

actionpack-4.0.4/lib/action_dispatch/routing/route_set.rb:428:in `add_route': Invalid route name, already in use: 'page'  (ArgumentError)
You may have defined two routes with the same name using the `:as` option, or you may be overriding a route already defined by a resource with the same naming.

Do you make your test with Rails 4 ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

@BGuimberteau I believe you'll need to disable to default routes that High Voltage creates.

# config/initializers/high_voltage.rb
HighVoltage.configure do |config|
  config.routes = false
end

Neat! Just perfect, thank you very much.
