often convenient to continue to use the
:meth:`pyramid.request.Request.resource_url` API. However, since the way
traversal is done will have been modified, the URLs it generates by default
-may be incorrect.
+may be incorrect when used against resources derived from your custom
+traverser.
If you've added a traverser, you can change how
:meth:`~pyramid.request.Request.resource_url` generates a URL for a specific
-type of resource by adding a registerAdapter call for
-:class:`pyramid.interfaces.IContextURL` to your application:
+type of resource by adding a call to
+:meth:`pyramid.config.add_resource_url_adapter`.

+For example:
.. code-block:: python
:linenos:
- from pyramid.interfaces import ITraverser
- from zope.interface import Interface
- from myapp.traversal import URLGenerator
+ from myapp.traversal import ResourceURLAdapter
from myapp.resources import MyRoot
- config.registry.registerAdapter(URLGenerator, (MyRoot, Interface),
- IContextURL)
+ config.add_resource_url_adapter(ResourceURLAdapter, resource_iface=MyRoot)
-In the above example, the ``myapp.traversal.URLGenerator`` class will be used
-to provide services to :meth:`~pyramid.request.Request.resource_url` any time
-the :term:`context` passed to ``resource_url`` is of class
-``myapp.resources.MyRoot``. The second argument in the ``(MyRoot,
-Interface)`` tuple represents the type of interface that must be possessed by
-the :term:`request` (in this case, any interface, represented by
-``zope.interface.Interface``).
