Facebooker talk - Aug 2008 - question about defining actions in controllers

I''m trying to had a new action to my "actitivites"
controller.

activities_controller.rb

...

def view
...
end

...
-------------

When I try to access the following URL: 
http://apps.new.facebook.com/myapp/activities/view

it returns:


  Unknown action

No action responded to show

--------------

Also the following "link_to" breaks:

link_to("Attendees:", activities_path(:id => activity, :controller
=>
:activities, :action => :view))%>

with error:


  ActionController::RoutingError in Public#index

Showing /public/index.fbml.erb/ where line *#25* raised:


ActionView::TemplateError (activities_url failed to generate from 
{:controller=>"activities", :action=>"view",
:id=>#<Activity id: 60.....

-----

my routes.db:
..
map.resources :activities
..

-----

I seem to not be able to specify create "actions" that can be accessed
thru my controller. I think there is something I''m missing here.

Thanks

BTW the following works:

http://apps.new.facebook.com/myapp/activities/view/1

I guess the question is, why is the "link_to" operation generating the
url incorrectly

it''s doing something like  
http://apps.new.facebook.com/myapp/activities/view?id=2  which is 
causing a routing issue.
