Yeah... I''m totally struggling to grok resource routes too... seems like they''ve totally blown the beautiful simplicity of the old url pattern stuff out of the water.

Found a solution and that is to override to_param on each of the
objects, so in the thing model I have
def to_param
"#{uid}"
end
Then in things_controller I have
def show
@thing = Thing.find_by_uid(params[:id])
end
There''s also a patch out at http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6814,
which allows you to use map.resources :things, :key => :uid and that
way you could just use
Thing.find(:params:uid)
in your controller.

It all has to do with what your controllers expect to find in the params[:id] parameter. -- Rick Olson http://weblog.techno-weenie.net http://mephistoblog.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
