Hi everybody, I am working on my first rest RoR app, and in short: i have resource e.g (users) instead of calling it using *www.example.com/users/id* my aim is to call it *www.example.com/id * *id* is pointing in my case to users.name field in database. My question is what is the Rails Way of doing it? I tried on few different ways but as it is more "do to learn" project I wish to do it right. My guess is to do in routing file: map.resource :users map.root :users after that I have issue with redirecting (while its allright for me to have *www.example.com/users/new *for create but it is not fine when it redirects me to *www.example.com/users *after that. Should I "hack" it using map.connect? or maybe from inside resource controller? Should I gave up with :resource shortcut and do it manually using named routes? The 2nd part of my question is (just to make it harder a bit) i wish to have something like *www.example.com/welcome *redirection when typed * www.example.com* (welcome as a action of users)*. *I know to use :collection for :users resources.. but how to make it work with map.root :users ? I am quite sure that how to of similar thing is somewhere to be found on-line, but I didn''t find it.. hope to get at least tip:) thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
