It's been a while since I did this in Rails, but in Merb it looks something
like this:
Controller:
class Site < Application
def my_method
return params[:id]
end
end
Router:
match("/:id").to(:controller => "site", :action => "my_method
").name(:site_my_method)
You have my make sure that the router definition is first (or at least
before anything else that would match /erik.
Hope that helps,
Chris
