Stan,

Although I haven’t looked into this further, try creating an “exists?” method using ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize_path with a rescue block to catch any failed named routes.

Thanks for the tip, Robbie. I knew that the routes needed to be updated, but didn’t look into how to do it.

nice post, worked a treat. One thing to remember to do is after you save or update your page, make sure you call

ActionController::Routing::Routes.reload!

to regenerate your new/updated routes.

Are you have additional recommendations to complete this example?

Thank you!
