Description

Plugin's routes can today ( r1977 ) be handled thanks to a hook in the config/routes.rb :

Redmine::Hook.call_hook :routes, :map => map
The developper has to define his routes in vendor/plugins/redmine_myplugin/init.rb (in the register block) :
    class MyRoutes < Redmine::Hook::Listener
      def routes(context)
        context[:map].resources :mymodel
        context[:map].connect 'mypath/:blah', :controller => 'mycontroller'
        #etc.
      end
    end
    Redmine::Hook.add_listener(MyRoutes)

Maybe it is possible to use Engines system to handle each plugin's routes, with "map.from_plugin" method :
- in config/routes.rb

    Rails.plugins.each do |plugin|
      map.from_plugin plugin.name.to_sym
    end
- in vendor/plugins/redmine_myplugin/routes.rb
    resources :mymodel
    connect 'mypath/:blah', :controller => 'mycontroller'

It has been discussed here in the forum. Maybe it would be easier to use for plugin developpers, but I'm not 100% sure routes overriding will produce the same effect.

I really like your suggestion and changed the way plugin routing works in r1991. Plugins' routes.rb are now added automatically to Redmine's routing, including the ability to override Redmine's default routing.

Here's an example I put in a plugin to override the home page with the project list.

# vendor/plugins/redmine_test_plugin/routes.rb
map.home '', :controller => 'projects', :action => 'index'

FYI: for documentation, the map object in my example isn't required, this will also work

# vendor/plugins/redmine_test_plugin/routes.rb
home '', :controller => 'projects', :action => 'index'

Just a quick note here since I may not be the only one to miss that : this way to configure routes in plugins has changed with r2887. You should have a look at this thread where Eric explains how to update your plugins.
