hey i am having problems when defining routes like this. map.room ''room/:name'', :controller => ''room'', :action => ''show'' when i try goto any url such as: /room/123 /room/technology it works fine to goto the show method with a param :name. but when i want to use my other actions such as ''list'' it still treats it as room/:name and will direct it to my show action. eg. room/list gives **NoMethodError in Room#show Showing room/show.rhtml where line #1 raised: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.name --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Try map.resources :room instead. This will use restful routing which will do exactly what you want it to do, but instead list is called "index".

Ahh, the wonders of restful routing elude you:
map.resources :room, :member => { :technology => :get }
Or if you''re doing it for a whole bunch of rooms:
map.resources :room, :collection => { :technology => :get }
Whether you do :member or :collection determines whether you do
technology_room_path(@room) or technology_rooms_path(@room).
I covered restful routing a few days ago on this list and wrote a smallish
tutorial for it: http://frozenplague.net/?p=108
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me through the list or
through GTalk or MSN at this email.

im a bit confused im just wanting to call the show action for a name for the room. eg, /room/technology should goto /room/show with param[:name] = technology, so i can show the subtopics within technology would i have to create a maps.resources for each of my room names ?

No, map.resources :rooms will automatically define the routes you need for CRUD''ding resources: index, show, new, create, edit, update & delete. This means when you do /rooms/technology it''ll actually pass in "technology" as params[:id], not params[:name]. Just a minor alteration in your code should fix this.

That parameter goes to params[:id] anyway. -- fxn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
