the 'new' path and the 'edit' path are the only ones that actually have the name of the action in them. The rest are determined based on whether you refer to the singular or plural version of the resource (eg comments vs comment) and the type of the request. I found this cheatsheet very handy when i started using REST: http://topfunky.com/clients/peepcode/REST-cheatsheet.pdf The cheatsheet shows you how to add custom actions as well: basically you put the action in your controller and moddify the entry for that resource in your routes.rb. The views themselves are not the problem you were encountering: if the action is run successfully it will drop through to the view automatically. To put it another way, a path points to a particular action in a particular controller, rather than to a view. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
