Hi Ronald, Its not necessary to have declare an action in a controller for a particular view. If you look at MVC ( Model - View - Controller ). You only have to declare an action if you want to initialize an object which the view would use.
eg: posts -> index action @posts = Post.all It is a good practice to declare all your objects in the action and use them in your views although you can still declare you objects in your views this way erb: <% @posts = Post.all %> I hope that explains :) Cheers Vivek On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 7:20 PM, Ronald Fischer <[email protected]> wrote: > One of my routes looks like this: > > admin_pages_home GET /admin_pages/home(.:format) > admin_pages#home > > In one of my views, I have a link to admin_pages_home_path, and clicking > on this link indeed works and renders admin_pages/home.html.erb, as we > can see from the logfile: > > Started GET "/admin_pages/home" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-09-08 15:32:41 > +0200 > Processing by AdminPagesController#home as HTML > Rendered admin_pages/home.html.erb within layouts/application (7.6ms) > > Now, the weird thing here is that I had forgotten to define a home() > function in AdminPagesController (and I also didn't put one in > ApplicationController).
