Hi,
I have a Collection resource set up and I have configured my routes
file:
map.resources :collections
I want to have a link which will create a new collection (instead of
adding one via the form in the New action). I was under the impression
that I could just do a POST call to the collections_path. e.g:
<%= link_to "New Collection", collections_path, :method => :post
%>
However, when I do this, I am routed to the Index action. The logs
show:
Processing CollectionsController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2008-09-26
14:20:22) [POST]
Session ID: 0b5dd35a6f2133dc7a9840e2d786c822
Parameters: {"action"=>"index",
"authenticity_token"=>"cb5d37816a3a4f0bdc14701b8a5127f1c3dc99c6",
"controller"=>"collections"}
What am I doing wrong? Why is the POST to the collections path routing
me to the index action? How do I make a link to the create action?
Thanks

Try this: <%= link_to "New Collection", {}, :method => :post %> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It should route to the create action. Any chance you have a route higher up in your routes.rb that''s taking precedence? Also what version of Rails? (perhaps you made a change to your routes.rb and need to restart your local server?)
