Conditional Routing

I want to assign different routes depending on the internal setting. A simple if won't work here as routes.rb is only evaluated on change/start. I want to redirect all requests to a maintenance page if the maintenance is in progress without changing the current URL.

You could have a before filter in the ApplicationController that renders a maintenance template. It should look something like this:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :show_maintenance_page

  private

  def show_maintenance_page
    render 'common/maintenance' if maintenance?  # you have to define maintenance?
  end
end

You could set an action in the ApplicationController as a before_filter to check an environment variable and, if that is set, render a maintenance template. This shouldn't affect the current URL.
