Remove namespace from nested resource

Question

I have a namspaced resource, but I'd like a specific nested resource to route to a non-namespaced controller, e.g.:

namespace :admin do
  resources :posts do # /admin/posts => Admin::PostsController
    resources :audits, only: [:index] # /admin/posts/1/audits => AuditsController
  end
end

The guides state that:

If you need to use a different controller namespace inside a namespace block you can specify an absolute controller path, e.g: get '/foo' => '/foo#index'.

but this results in "wrong constant name" because rails tries to convert admin//audits in to a constant.

could you provide an example? I want the route nested, so I'm not sure what you recommend I do. — Mike Campbell, Jan 06 '15 at 09:26
Well if you just let something like this ` resources :posts do # /admin/posts => Admin::PostsController resources :audits, only: [:index] # /admin/posts/1/audits => AuditsController end` it will create routes but omitting the admin namespace, is that what you want. You can have both routes — kurenn, Jan 06 '15 at 20:16

I ended up just splitting it out completely and doing

get 'admin/users/:user_id/audits', to: 'audits#index'

Still don't really understand the quote from the guides, I assume it must be incorrect.
