Rails 3 - How to escape from subdomain route to the normal route?

I've worked on making a multiple subdomains feature for my E-commerce website. So far, I've made it possible to assign a ':subdomain' attribute for every user and display their sites on like 'subdomain.example.com'.

But, I cannot return to 'example.com' from 'subdomain.example.com' because the 'root_path' leads to not 'example.com' but 'subdomain.example.com'.

routes.rb file:

constraints(Subdomain) do
  match "/" => 'contributors#show'
end

root :to => "items#index"

The Subdomain class comes from 'domains.rb' file below.

class Subdomain
  def self.matches?(request)
    request.subdomain.present? && request.subdomain != "www"
  end
end

contributors#show

<%= link_to 'Home', root_path # this leads to contributor#show. wanna make it to index#show. %>

Any help is welcome. Thanks.

Have you tried root_url(:subdomain => false)? This strips the link of the subdomain and should do what you want.

Rails takes the first matching path defined in the routes.rb file. If you are on the subdomain the constraint matches and match "/" matches as root path. Try move "root :to => 'items#index'" to the top of your routes.rb file.
