I posted this question last night but it doesn''t seem to have made it
to
the group.
I''m wondering why I can''t get a post method to work for a
custom action
I''ve tried
map.resources :foo, :collection => { :sort => :post}
map.resources :foo, :new => { :sort => :post}
map.resources :foo, :create => { :sort => :post}
map.resources :foo, :member => { :sort => :post}
In all cases the post call seems to take me to either the create action
or show.
Sorry if this is a really basic question but docs say you should be able
to do :any and it''s not happening for me.
Thanks.

In the future, when asking for help, please provide at least some details like the error message that you are getting, relevant log info, stack trace, etc,, Using this information, we can provide further assistance.. ilan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Based on what you''ve posted, my guess is that you want to return a set of sorted foos. If that''s the case, the first form is correct -- it''s an operation on the entire collection of foos. The form appears to be correct as well (action_id => HTTP Verb). The first question then is: did you restart your webrick/mongrel server? The routes file is only parsed when the server starts so you could have made the correct change and the server just did not know it. Next, you may need to look at how you invoked the call to the server. Forms default to POST and links often use a GET. Rails provides a :method option as part of its helpers so you can force the postback to use the right verb. link_to sort_foos_path, :method=>:post HTH, AndyV On Mar 2, 11:46 am, Grayson Piercee <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I posted this question last night but it doesn''t seem to have made it to > the group. > > I''m wondering why I can''t get a post method to work for a custom action > > I''ve tried > > map.resources :foo, :collection => { :sort => :post} > map.resources :foo, :new => { :sort => :post} > map.resources :foo, :create => { :sort => :post} > map.resources :foo, :member => { :sort => :post} > > In all cases the post call seems to take me to either the create action > or show. > > Sorry if this is a really basic question but docs say you should be able > to do :any and it''s not happening for me. > > Thanks. > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
