it the route you set a requirement but you could access the client with a query, something like this
link_to <http://user.name/>"Home", root_path(:id=>@user.id) but what this does is add this to the url string ?id=1 and is not what you want since people can still access the original with out ?id=1 gicing user the same message so what you do is create a route like this match 'products/:id' => 'catalog#view' <============copied from the routes.rb comments you see here the id is specified that means that it the user access product with no id the message will be no routes matched /products and that is what we want, not an error in the controller is just that there is no page in the site you can access without specifing the id. conclusion is not a good idea to have a root route that requieres an id instead match 'pages/:id' => 'pages#home' and root :to => "welcome#index" On Sun, Sep 12, 2010 at 7:48 AM, Anders_P <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi radhames! > > So the problem lies in my routes!?!, do you have any suggestion on how > it should look? > > Thanks! > > // Anders > > > On 12 Sep, 04:48, radhames brito <[email protected]> wrote: > > ok there is a problem > > > > @user = User.find(params[:id]) <================= params[:id] is > pulled > > from the url query string > > > > in rails the convention is this > > > > /controller/action/id > > > > in cases there you need to pull one specific record > > > > /controller/action > > > > to pull a collection > > > > @user = User.find(params[:id]) > > > > here you are pulling an specific user but > > > > root :to => 'pages#home' > > > > there is no id at the end of your so params[:id] has nothing in it > > > > thats why Couldn't find User without an ID > > > > > > > > On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 2:08 PM, Anders_P <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Thanks for your tips Colin! > > > > > Hi radhames! > > > > > Thanks for your help on my previous topic. > > > > > Here is my routes.rb file: > > > > > resources :users > > > resources :sessions, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy] > > > resources :ads, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy] > > > > > match '/registrera', :to => 'users#new' > > > > > match '/inloggning', :to => 'sessions#new' > > > match '/utloggning', :to => 'sessions#destroy' > > > > > root :to => 'pages#home' > > > match '/kontakt', :to => 'pages#contact' > > > match '/om', :to => 'pages#about' > > > > > Thanks! > > > > > // Anders > > > > > On 11 Sep, 19:21, radhames brito <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > home action seems to be a member restful action and it needs an id to > > > find > > > > the record but you are not declaring that route the right way > > > > show the routes please > > > > > > On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 8:25 AM, Colin Law <[email protected]> > > > wrote: > > > > > On 11 September 2010 12:14, Anders_P <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > > > Could you not top post please, it is easier to follow the thread if > > > > > comments are inserted into the previous post.
