I can sent my own action to a users_controller stating in routes.rb
map.resources :users, :member => { :network => get }
I defined in my users_controller the network action....
so I can have an url like
"http://localhost:3000/users/168.xml;network"
now I would like to have another action network_plus which is a little
bit different fron the network..
sure, I can state another action..... but is there any possibility to
use only one action and perform differently according to a parameter...
how can I pass parameters to the network action ?
"http://localhost:3000/users/168.xml;network&plus=true" .... is
it
correctly RESTFUL?.....
thanks for your lights
kad

It could very well be that although your "network" action seems to be needed on a user resource, perhaps you''re really stumbling upon a discovery of a new resource entirely. What does the network action try to do? And if you *had* to stick to the seven RESTful actions, what action would "network" be and for what resource? Those are the kinds of questions I ask myself whenever I feel like adding a custom action, and about half the time, I''m able to just declare a new resource and remove the custom action.

Actually, everything (authorizations, logins, search, ...) can be fit into the 7 REST actions.

Is this URL correct? .../168.xml;network or should it actually be .../168;network.xml this always confuses me. Should the format extension always appear at very end of the URL, just before the query string. Before the semicolon before the custom action?

Before the > semicolon before the custom action?I think this was one of the reasons we changed it to / in edge rails. When we actually got to building real restful apps with custom actions, singleton resources, etc, it was clear using the semicolon wasn''t working out (plus, safari won''t send http basic auth with it). It should be /168/network.xml, which is a lot easier to grasp, provides a transparent migration to a singleton ''network'' resource should it be necessary, and doesn''t mess with caching. -- Rick Olson http://lighthouseapp.com 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.

Oh thank goodness. Great move! I''m looking forward to the release of this. I like that idea so much better. It also removes the confusion between http://localhost:3000/resource/new and http://localhost:3000/resource/:id;edit If you think about it they are both used to GET the form and not modify the resource. Yet "new" has a slash and "edit" has a semicolon. So I would love to write this instead: http://localhost:3000/resource/:id/edit And this will also make custom actions (when they are necessary) feel more like first class citizens in the URL.
