I have in my routes.rb map.resources :accounts This is fine for the standard crud routes. But then I add a method in the accounts_controller def logout blah blah end I want to link to it so I do: <%=link_to ''Logout'' ,:controller=>''accounts'', :action=>''logout''%> which creates: <a href="/accounts/logout">Logout</a> But it just calls the ''show'' method of the accounts_controller and trys to find an account with an id of ''logout'' What am I missing here? How can I call the logout method. It doesn''t seem to be a problem if I dont specify a controller, but in this case the link is in the layout and needs to specify the controller.

That doesn''t work. I can do: map.logout ''logout'', :controller => ''accounts'', :action => ''logout'' Not very elegant though But what is the point of having the default routes if you cant get to them? Is the idea to make a named route for everything?

You can make named routes for everything using the technique Phillip posted, you could rearrange your actions to be more restful (maybe a sessions controller, and map login to sessions#create, or move your default routes to a different position in the routes file (order is important here).
