Evening all! I''m playing around with the new Simply RESTful plugin, and
I''ve got a question about the *_url methods.
>From what I understand, given a Page model, there are three _url methods
provided:
- page_url
- new_page_url
- edit_page_url
I''m a bit disturbed that there are only three, but that aside...
To delete a resource, I would say:
link_to(''Delete'', page_url(:id => @page), :method =>
:delete)
And I now have a link that points to pages/1 with an attribute of
''delete.'' It even acts as a post request, how neat.
But this isn''t what I want. I want to present the user with a
confirmation screen, first.
I''ve tried:
link_to(''Delete'', page_url(:action =>
''delete'', :id => @page), :method
=> :get)
But Rails throws an error in my face saying it can''t convert nil into a
string. (That is patently false, but we''ll just nod our heads and move
on.)
So... what''s a guy to do? Use the traditional link_to format?
link_to(''Delete'', :action => ''delete'',
:id => @page)
That''s totally uncool. I''m already having nightmares about the
nightmares I''ll have trying to remember when to use which technique.
(Not to mention trying to explain this to my co-worker (who''s more of a
newbie than I am).)
If there were a delete_page_url function that accepted :get as its
:method value everything would be gravy. (I think.)
Any ideas?
- Daniel
