make "admin" prefix configurable
Reported by Stefan | May 8th, 2009 @ 10:51 AM
Please consider to make the admin
URL prefix which
is hardcoded multiple times in routes.rb
and other
places configurable so that you can change it and have a normal
section page called admin
.

Hi Stefan,
I've thought this suggestion through and I think this isn't even an edge case but rather an edge case of an edge case! ;-)
If you create a section with a permalink set to "admin", all that happens is that the section isn't accessible through the frontend and instead you're redirected to the admin area. The admin area stays accessible which means this definitely is no critical bug.
Making it configurable would involve considerable changes in all routes files and what we gain from that (as I said, I don't even consider it as an edge case) doesn't nearly justify the amount of work needed.
One thing we could discuss would be to prefix the admin area with "_admin" instead of "admin". Since our permalink creation cuts of leading and trailing underscores, this could never clash with any section you create through the backend. There would still be some work involved, though, because we'd have to manually change all the routes.
I've set this ticket to invalid for the time being.
