Thanks for your response Jeremy,
Here's what I know now. With http://localhost:3000/ and the 2nd line
of routes.db successively:
map.root :controller => "vendors" # undefined method
`vendor_path'
map.root :controller => "users" # Works
map.resources :users # No route matches "/" with
{:method=>:get}
map.resources :vendors # No route matches "/" with
{:method=>:get}
Also, the following both work, seemingly regardless of what routes are
available
http://localhost:3000/users
http://localhost:3000/vendors
My next effort is to add a Home page with a side-bar of links to other
pages and kill all the root/resource entries except Home itself as the
default.
Yet I wonder why controller => "vendors" fails despite the fact that
controller => "users" work, when I thing I created them in the same
manner. Do you have any idea? I expect there's not enough info to
let anyone to make a useful guess, so I'll just keep working to
eliminate the need for routes to vendors and users,
Again, thanks for your insights,
Richard
