[Rails] clean(er) urls & mod_rewrite

[Johan Sörensen]

Hi list.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Rails way if doing certain
things, so please do tell me if this is the wrong approach all
together. Basicly, I have a "project" with many "assets", "people" and
so on. Now, being tainted with the bad manners that Perl and PHP
teaches you,  I'd like an url space that looks something like this:
/project/<projectid>/people/<userid>/show 

But I'm not sure if rails supports this? seeing as the dispatcher
rewrite would look something like controller+id+controller+id+action.
Or is it "bad" to do this kinda stuff in rails, seeing as we have a
(rather sweet) relational system through belongs_to and so on..

I've been playing around with mod_rewrite and the link_to/url_for
methods but with little luck, specificly, I'm not sure I'm still
getting how the :controller_prefix, :action_prefix and so on should
work together with the rewrite rules..?

Do any of the above even make any sense? :)
