Hi, can anyone help with a routing problem for nested resources:
My models are User (has_one :house) and House (belongs_to :user).
I have a houses_controller and a user_house_controller. house_controller
is for the admin to perform CRUD on houses; so users'' CRUD must go
through the user_house_controller.
The resources are nested like so:
map.resources :houses
map.resources :users do |users|
users.resource :house, :controller => ''user_house''
end
So after a new user registers I want to send him to the form for the his
house, ie
http://localhost:3000/users/21/gym/new
I''m having trouble with generating this URL programmatically. In my
users_controller I have:
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user]) #user registered, now register his
house
redirect_to new_gym_url(:user_id => @user)
I know when one has a nested resource then the URL generator takes 2
arguments: The nested-under model and the nested model. So according to
this logic, the URL helper should look like:
new_gym_url(:user_id => @user, :id => house)
But then I will be referring to a house that hasn''t been created yet!
When I just use:
new_gym_url(:user_id => @user) or new_gym_url
I get redirected to the houses_controller#new, and I want to use
user_house_controller.
This is about to drive me nuts; so please explain!

Issue solved! users.resource :houses, :controller => ''user_house'' instead of: users.resource :house, :controller => ''user_house'' end Apparently the resources are always plural, regardless that a user only has one house. /V. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Resources don''t have to be plural. For example, one of my apps has users, and when they login, they access their account at this path: /account/ To do this, I added the following to routes.rb: map.resource :account You just need to make sure that all of your files and classes have proper pluralisation. Thus, I have AccountsController. For your question, I would think that you''d need: # config/routes.rb map.resources :users do |users| users.resource :house, :controller => ''user_house'' end # app/controllers/houses_controller.rb class HousesController < ApplicationController In other words, make sure it''s "HousesController" and "houses_controller.rb" (plural), not "HouseController" or "house_controller.rb" (singular). Once you have that working properly, you can generate URLs and paths to a user''s house like this: user_house_path user_house_url I hope that helps, Nick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Nick,- thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. I''ve worked around the problem but it is definitely helpful. Previously I thought that pluralization patterns in the routes file must follow those of the controllers but now I can see it''s not the case - the two things are decoupled and the most important thing is the proper pluralization of the controllers.
