Rails - May 2008 - Newbie: Wierd ID not routing by default problem.

Ok so I was having this problem before and thought Id start again from
scratch.

Here is an example of my index.html.erb file


<% for user in @users %>
  <tr>
    <td><%= h user.SurName %></td>
    <td><%= h user.ForeName %></td>


    <td><%= link_to ''Show'', user %></td>
    <td><%= link_to ''Edit'', edit_user_path(user)
%></td>
    <td><%= link_to ''Destroy'', user, :confirm =>
''Are you sure?'',
:method => :delete %></td>
  </tr>
<% end %>

<%= link_to ''New user'', new_user_path %>

The links rendered for show edit and destroy are all wrong they
basically leave out the ID of the user and so don''t work as links

EG: "Show" links to /users/ rather than say /users/10 for example, and
"Edit" links to /users//edit rather than /users/10/edit

I find if I edit my code to be more of the form

    <td><%= link_to ''Show'', :action =>
''show'', :id => user.ID %></td>
    <td><%= link_to ''Edit'', edit_user_path(user.ID)
%></td>

Then the paths are fine, but every tutorial I''ve read seems to imply
that this shouldn''t be necessary. Am I doing something obvious wrong?

My routes.rb file is very standard

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  map.resources :users

  map.root :controller => "users"

  map.connect '':controller/:action/:id''
  map.connect '':controller/:action/:id.:format''
end

this should work:

<td><%= link_to ''Show'', user_path(user.id)
%></td>
<td><%= link_to ''Edit'', edit_user_path(user.id)
%></td>
<td><%= link_to ''Destroy'', user_path(user.id),
:confirm => ''Are you
sure?'',
:method => :delete %>

Ok cool, but does this mean that I''ve just been reading bad tutorials? 
Or is it a configuration issue?
