Hi everyone, Im just trying out the new restful routes in Rails. Im having trouble though. hash_for_resources_url.inspect => {:use_route=>"resources", :controller=>"resources", :action=>"index", :only_path=>false} as expected but then: hash_for_resource_url(@resource).inspect => cannot convert Resource into Hash What happened? so I tried: hash_for_resource_url(:id => @resource).inspect => {:id=>#, @errors={}>, @attributes={"title"=>"resource_title", "id"=>"1"}>, :controller=>"resources", :use_route=>"resource", :action=>"show", :only_path=>false} Nope. No to_param in there? hash_for_resource_url(:id => @resource.to_param).inspect => {:id=>"1", :controller=>"resources", :use_route=>"resource", :action=>"show", :only_path=>false} Right thats what I wanted. At least I think that''s what I wanted. Is it supposed to work like that? Doesn''t seem very useful. And the docs say it works by passing in the id (hash_for_message_url(id)) I guess my question is what are some possible uses of hash_for_resource_url that make this functionality appropriate? Im still new to all this. What I wanted to do was pass the hash into the activerecordhelper#form method (never seen that method before today, neat). But then when I got hash_for_resource_url figured out I realized that there is only hash_for_new_resource_url and hash_for_edit_resource_url. but no hash_for_update_resource_url, etc. So.. Gosh Im just confused I guess. Can anyone maybe point me in the direction of some good clarifications of these new generated routes and how they are intended to be used. Maybe I should ignore all these new fancy named routs and just write them out like I always have (as controller action id hashes)? Dunno. Still testing the waters I guess. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
