(please leave some context from the message you're replying to to save us the hassle of trawling through our deleted items :-/ If your user requests '/books/ruby' with standard routing it would pass the :id of 'ruby' to the index action of the books controller (if you want your controller to be '/book/' you'll need to map a custom route to that). So in the index action, if you perform some custom operation (like a case switch on params[:id] or a find_by_other_field) to determine which other method to call, you should be able to take it from there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
