What is the proper way to have any invalid request fall back to a
specific action and controller?
That is, instead of seeing an error like those below, I would like
control to pass to my main controller action.
The error "no route found to match "/foo with {:method=>:get}"
is shown
if the controller is invalid.
The error "No action responded to foo" is shown if the controller is
valid but the action isn''t.
Many thanks.

This gets called whenever an exception is thrown, so you need to check whether the exception corresponds to the missing action one and then do as appropriate. Rails 2.0 has a much nicer way of dealing with this, since you can do class PostsController < ApplicationController rescue_from FooError, :with => :foo_handler protected def foo_handler end end Fred> The error "no route found to match "/foo with {:method=>:get}" is > shown > if the controller is invalid. > The error "No action responded to foo" is shown if the controller is > valid but the action isn''t. > > Many thanks. > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Yes, this works if I put this in my application.rb: def rescue_action(exception) redirect_to :controller => :centre, :action => :index end I guess I ought to also include the code from the original rescue_action that logs the error... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
