I need some help with routes and params. I am developming some forums for a web. I want to be able to create new replies once a post has been created. So I create a post and then I have to put a link named "Reply". What I want to do is Reply.create, and pass post_id as a param to this Reply.create action. How can I make this link? How can I get this param in replies controller? I think I can create a whole new action, but I would like to use Reply.create. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi John, I highly suggest you take a peek as the associations that Rails provides. A good place to start is the Rails Guides. http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html and also the guide on routes (particularly the part on nested resources) http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing_outside_in.html These will make life much easier for you if you follow them. Sorry for not really answering your question... :) Again, I would go this route though. :) On Feb 9, 12:46 pm, John Smith <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I need some help with routes and params.

I think you have to have a look at Rails basics. A basic forum would
be something like:
forums has_many categories
categories has_many topics
topics has_many replies
then you have has_many routes like /forums/1/categories/1/topic and in
your routes.rb you would do
map.resources :forums do |forum|
forum.resources :categories do |cat|
cat.resources :topics
end
end
You could add :has_many => :topics but if you need members and/or
collections later its better this way.
