Hello:
I have a destroy method in my controller - pretty standard:
def destroy
@goal = Goal.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to goals_url }
format.xml { head :ok }
end
end
And then I have a listing view which has the destroy method in the view
- also pretty standard:
<%= link_to ''Delete'', { :action =>
''destroy'', :id => goal }, :confirm =>
''Are you sure?'', :post => true %> | 
where the id = goal id - no problem retreiving that, becuase i see it in
my URL:
[myurl.com]/goals/13
but this is called, I get an error:
Unknown action
No action responded to 13
How can this be the case when the destroy method is correctly being
referenced in my view?
Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide.
Mike

If so, you''ll need to specify the ''delete'' method explicitly. Try: <%= link_to ''Delete'', { :action => ''destroy'', :id => goal }, :confirm => ''Are you sure?'', :method => ''delete'' %> James. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The url ([myurl.com]/goals/13) looks like one of the new "resource-based" urls from Rails 1.2, but it seems like the routing system is expecting an old-style url ([myurl.com]/goals/destroy/13). If you are using the new routing then it seems like you''ve somehow mixed up the two systems. I don''t know much about the new system, but I know that if you''re using it you should have a line like the following in your routes.rb file: map.resources :goals Do you have this? I you still can''t figure out the problem, please post your routes.rb file - it might provide some more clues about what''s going wrong. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks so much for your reply. I think I do have a mix of routing
systems, but I''m not sure how it works. Does rails have a doc outlining
how routes in 1.2 works? here''s my config/routes.rb file:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :goals_tags
map.resources :tags
map.resources :goals
map.connect '''', :controller => "goals"
# The priority is based upon order of creation: first created ->
highest priority.
# Sample of regular route:
# map.connect ''products/:id'', :controller =>
''catalog'', :action =>
''view''
# Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller and
:action
# Sample of named route:
# map.purchase ''products/:id/purchase'', :controller =>
''catalog'',
:action => ''purchase''
# This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)
# You can have the root of your site routed by hooking up ''''
# -- just remember to delete public/index.html.
# map.connect '''', :controller => "welcome"
# Allow downloading Web Service WSDL as a file with an extension
# instead of a file named ''wsdl''
map.connect '':controller/service.wsdl'', :action =>
''wsdl''
# Install the default route as the lowest priority.
map.connect '':controller/:action/:id.:format''
map.connect '':controller/:action/:id''
end
Thanks again - any help you can provide.

> <%= link_to ''Delete'', { :action => ''destroy'', :id => goal }, :confirm => > ''Are you sure?'', :post => true %> | I''m not sure if this is the problem, but could you try using the following link in your view instead: <%= link_to ''Delete'', goal_path(goal), :confirm => ''Are you sure?'', :method => :delete %> This appears to be the preferred way of writing links with the new routing - it may be the only way. Don''t ask me how it works though - I haven''t worked it out yet myself. There does appear to be some "hidden" documentation for this in the "resources.rb" file in the rails source. For some reason it''s marked with a #:nodoc: tag, so it doesn''t appear in the generated documentation. I don''t know whether this was just an oversight or whether the documentation is not considered satisfactory. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
