Hey there,
I''m in the muck of a major rails project, and need a bit of advice.
Google
isn''t much help in this case, so I came here.
I''m trying to set up a URL structure as follows:
url.com/username/blog/post_id
where the user has_many posts and the post belongs_to user. I''m using
the
friendly_id plugin to enable easy lookup with the user''s username, and
I
would like to have the blog paths automatically retrieved, instead of
getting a path error (as such):
ActionView::TemplateError (post_url failed to generate from
{:controller=>"posts", :user_id=>#<Post id: 1, user_id: 5,
title: "Rock and
Roll", body: "This is my blog post body.", created_at:
"2009-12-03
15:40:06", updated_at: "2009-12-03 15:40:06">,
:action=>"show"}, expected:
{:controller=>"posts", :action=>"show"}, diff:
{:user_id=>#<Post id: 1,
user_id: 5, title: "Rock and Roll", body: "This is my blog post
body.",
created_at: "2009-12-03 15:40:06", updated_at: "2009-12-03
15:40:06">}) on
line #3 of app/views/posts/edit.html.erb:
One strategy that I''ve tried is to lookup the user, and then filter the
posts by that user, but no luck thus far on making the paths work. Before I
write my own link helpers, do you have any ideas?
Thanks!
Nicholas Young

Maybe something like this would work: in the user model: has_many :posts, :dependent => :destroy def to_param username end in the route: map.resources :posts, :path_prefix => ":username" Then in the view: post_url(post, :username => "donaldduck") In the controller: user = User.find_by_username params[:username] @post = user.posts.find(params[:id]) On Dec 3, 11:32 am, Nicholas Young <nicho...-xC5Qu3Aly4iS4QlAQSBiwtBPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hey there, > > I''m in the muck of a major rails project, and need a bit of advice.

As it is, the post_url doesn''t appear to be set up to expect your user_id and post_id properly. If you look closely, you''ll see that :user_id is associated to a Post object which is probably wrong. -Rob Rob Biedenharn http://agileconsultingllc.com Rob-xa9cJyRlE0mWcWVYNo9pwxS2lgjeYSpx@public.gmane.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
