Rails - Jan 2009 - Restful named member routs is not decoded correctly

I define my own member action in the root file as
 map.resources  :helps
 map.resources  :helps, :member => {:display => :put}

The tables  listed by rake routs displays the pathes and helpers as
display_help                  PUT    /helps/:id/display
{:controller=>"helps", :action=>"display"}
formatted_display_help PUT    /helps/:id/display.:format
{:controller=>"helps", :action=>"display"}

I am using it in a link in the view as display_help_path
(:id=>''What_is_Disweb'')
and the url in the corresponding link is
http://localhost:3000/hepls/What_is_Disweb/display

This seems all OK, but rails tell me that it cannot find an action
named What_is_Disweb, when I click on the link
I seems as the url is decoded as I had not add the member action

Anyone that has any ideas of what is going on ? Has anyone met the
same problem ?
What mistakes have I done ? What are the sources of my problem ?
I am displaying the link in another window ? Is that the source of the
problem?
I have tried to find the source of the probllem for hours, but without
any success.

Any help is very much appreciated

You don''t need the first one, the second (with the :member option)  
does what you need.

You''ve stipulated that the method used for the display action must be  
PUT, so if you click on a link, that''s a GET and it is most likely  
matching the default route:
map.connect ''/:controller/:action/:id''

Try having just:

map.resources :helps, :member => {:display => :get}

and see if your problem goes away.

I''d also recommend commenting out the default routes and add the  
actual routing that you need.
