wrong url generation with scope declared

[aboutlo]

define a route like that:

scope "/(:locale)" do
match "/*id" => 'high_voltage/pages#show', :as => :page, :format => false
end

create a link with this helper:
page_path("about")

you get:
No route matches {:controller=>"high_voltage/pages", :action=>"show", :locale=>"about"}

rather using page_path(:id => "about") it works fine and you get "/locale/tour"

Hi @aboutlo thanks for the feedback. Will take a look into this over the next few days.

@aboutlo can you walk me through what you're trying to do here? Where are you storing the static pages with translations?

[aboutlo]

I am storing my pages directly to /app/views/mypage.html.erb without any content_path prefix configured.
My goal is handle default contents with URLs like http://www.mydomain.com/mypage and localized contents with URLs like http://www.mydomain.com/:locale/mypage

[harlow]

Cool, that approach makes sense.

I mocked up a test application using I18n support and was able to replicate the issue. As you mentioned page_path(id: 'about') works.

I will continue to look into a solution that will allow us to remove id, for the time being this seems to be the only way to get high_voltage to work with locales.

Any news on this?

[harlow]

@jmuheim no luck just yet. Its unclear to me how we're going to fix this one. I suppose we could try to override the page_path method using a view helper and then have that delegate to the Rails routing method.

How are we getting on with this?

Also, should I be experiencing issues linking to nested pages?

E.g.

link_to "Privacy Policy", page_path(id: 'legal/privacy-policy')

Doesn't understand the / only when using the id: setter.
