Thanks for your help. I realized before I saw your reply that I should have
made a operations_controller instead of the operator_profile_controller.
So I did that and I now have:
resources :operations in routes
and in operations controller I have all 7 rest methods.
And now I'm getting this:
No route matches {:controller=>"operators", :action=>"edit"}
because of this link in application.html.erb:
<%= link_to('Profile', :controller => "operators", :action => "edit") %>
and when I do a rake routes - the only methods that are listed for operators
are:
operators GET /operators(.:format)
{:action=>"index", :controller=>"operators"}
POST /operators(.:format)
{:action=>"create", :controller=>"operators"}
My model is operator.rb
