ruby - Create administration area in Rails app -

i'm creating blog rails , first thing i've done administration area (by thing have in application). i've used bootstrap design pages , devise authentication.

for models, views , controllers used scaffolding , generated both admin , post models.

the problem have create real blog , access administration panel using /admin route. example, create new post should access http:/mysite/admin/posts/new.

another problem have totally different design in public blog page (not bootstrap) , of course i'll have different controllers, views , routes.

so, can done?

i suggest removing admin model in case seems more namespace model. instead create :admin namespace in routes.rb file like:

namespace :admin    resources :posts end 

this cause routes inside of block prefixed w/ admin. url editing post on admin side admin/posts/:id/edit.

next suggest making admincontroller of admin controllers inherit from. way can specify new layout. can create admin::postscontroller @ app/controllers/admin/posts_controller.rb

app/controllers/admin_controller.rb

class admincontroller < applicationcontroller   layout 'admin' end 

app/controllers/admin/posts_controller.rb

class admin::postscontroller < admincontroller   def index     # admin/posts   end end 

app/views/admin/posts/index.html.erb

hello admin/posts view!
