I have a route like this:
map.resources :blog, :controller => ''posts''
This seems to confuse form_for''s model introspection when using this
syntax:
form_for @post do |f| ... end
When I go to a page that has that code, I get a NoMethodError:
undefined method `posts_path'' for
#<ActionView::Base:0x103dd2030>
I''ve discovered I can fix it by doing:
form_for @post, :url => { :action =
''whatever-action-it-should-have-
been'' } do |f| ... end
Do I need to manually set the :url parameter like this every time I
use form_for or is there a way to get it to globally recognize my
altered named routes?
Thanks in advance!
I actually used :as before using :controller, and while it recognized routes using the "aliased" name, the URL helpers generated links using the "real" name. Perhaps I was using the wrong helpers, though. I will look into it again. Thanks for your response!

Trying it again, using :on did what I was expecting. I think I most have mistakenly tried used alias_path instead of original_path when I was trying it the first time. Case closed! Thanks again!
