Hey, I have a social network web app with ruby on rails and users can see their profile like this: /profiles/2-admin Now i want to make an alias or something with the route "/me" so it would show the same as profiles/2-admin so when i go to this: http://localhost:3000/me it shows me the same as http://localhost:3000/profiles/2-admin so the "me" would show the info from the currently logged in user! Ho can i do that? I have tried several things, but nothing succeeded.. Thank you, Wouter

Whoever follows the /me route should be shown the page with their profile on it. If you don''t already have such an action, I think creating one would be the best way. HTH Matt

And why cant i do http://localhost:3000/me.xml (No route matches "/ me.xml") On Jul 16, 10:46 pm, Wouter <wouterg...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hey, > > Thank you for your answer! > > When i try this i got this error message > > Couldn''t find Profile without an ID > > How to solve this? > > On Jul 16, 10:27 pm, Matt Harrison <iwasinnamuk...-ja4MoDZtUtVl57MIdRCFDg@public.gmane.org> > wrote: > > > Wouter wrote: > > > Hey, > > > > I have a social network web app with ruby on rails and users can see > > > their profile like this: /profiles/2-admin > > > Now i want to make an alias or something with the route "/me" so it > > > would show the same as profiles/2-admin > > > > so when i go to this:http://localhost:3000/meitshows me the same as > > >http://localhost:3000/profiles/2-admin > > > so the "me" would show the info from the currently logged in user! > > > > Ho can i do that? > > > > I have tried several things, but nothing succeeded.. > > > If you already have an action that lets a user see their profile, then > > you could do something like this: > > > map.connect ''/me'', :controller => ''profiles'', :action => > > ''user_profile_action'' > > > Change "user_profile_action" to whatever the action is called.

Ok it works now
this is my action
def show_me
@user = Profile.find(@p)
respond_to do |wants|
wants.html {redirect_to profile_path(@p)}
wants.xml {render :xml => @user.to_xml }
end
end
and this my route
map.connect ''/me'', :controller =>
''profiles'', :action=> ''show_me''
but when i try to access /me.xml i get No route matches "/me.xml"
Me.xml is the same as /profiles/2-admin.xml (xml file from profile).
How can i do this?
