Thanks, Bill.
I actually stumbled across another technique, which I adapted from some
code I found in Lovd By Less (http://lovdbyless.com)
Here's how it works for the new user form:
Routes:
map.connect '/join', :controller => 'users', :action => 'new'
Form tag:
<% form_for @user, :url => '/join', :method => :post do |f| %>
Controller
def new
@user = User.new(params[:user])
return unless request.post?
if @user.save
flash[:notice] = "Account registered!"
redirect_back_or_default account_url
else
render :action => :new
end
end
I've only played with it a little bit so far, but it seems to do
everything I need, in less code than the scaffolding I was working with,
and I haven't found a downside yet. I kind of like it.
