routes

So I have a weekly calendar view and I have a route set up to accept /:year/:month/:day for the start date. match "events/(:year/:month/:day)" => "events#index", :constraints => { :year => /\d{4}/, :month => /\d{2}/, :day => /\d{2}/ }, :as => "events_date" I have two questions regarding the use of this route.

Let's say: User with supervisor role can access sup_choose_date User with user role can access user_choose_date The question is if it is possible to have two different

Recently I got to know about rails concerns in routes from this discussion How to have one resource in routes for namespace and root path altogether - Rails 4 . Now in my application I have routes like this: namespace :admin do resources :photos resources :businesses resources :projects resources :quotes end resources :photos, param: 'slug' resources :businesses, param: 'slug' do resources :projects, param: 'slug' #As I need both the url one inside business and one outside end resources :projects, param: 'slug' resources :quotes, param: 'slug' And there are many more resources which are

I have the following route definition: resources :documents do collection do post :filter end end and the following model structure: class Document < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :documentable, :polymorphic => true end class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :documents, :as => :documentable end and controller structure: class DocumentsController < ApplicationController def index # not important end def filter # not important end end I can easily in a view say: polymorphic_path([@user, Document]) to get the path /users/1/documents , but I want to be able to say: filter_polymorphic_path([@user
