Hi All, Thanks for the tips!
To expand on my original thinking... I assumed documents_path generated the path by looking for a route with controller=>documents, action=>index. I guess that's not necessarily the case. Anyway, I tried: resources :documents, :only => [:index], :path => '' resources :documents, :except => [:index] But found that it did indeed cause problems when creating a document, as Pat had warned. However, this: resources :documents, :only => [:index, :create], :path => '' resources :documents, :except => [:index] Gave me exactly the behaviour I wanted. Thanks guys!
