Bourne, In your example, *add* is like *new. *It should not be a member action, it is a collection one.
I think what you are asking for is a bit more elaboration of the default REST routes. When you do: resources :priorities This will generate the 7 default routes. which are two types: 1. Member (you are operating on a specific instance of the priorities). and those are: Show, Edit, Update, Destroy 2. Collection, Where you operate on prorities in general, but not an existing one of them. which is :index, :new, :create for member based actions, the paths generated in a singular form and expects the ID to be passed. so add_priority_path # wrong, you have not provided an id or an instance of Priority add_priority_path(object) # should work, but this is not what u want. new_priority_path is actually a collection. the route will be /priorities/new On Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 9:50 AM, bourne <bour...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you!
