Hello and thank you in advance.
I am fairly new to Ruby and Rails and am working on an app in order to
get more familiar. I feel I should be able to solve this problem on my
own but have thus far been stymied. Thanks for your help.
I used scaffold to generate the basic index/new/show/edit/destroy
methods for a given db entries and all works as it should. However, I
would like to add a new method -- say "new_special" (for example) --
in
the controller.
I would expect to do something like:
[foo_controller.rb]
...
def new_special
{some instructions}
end
...
however, when I browse to this (http://localhost:3000/foo/new_special
I see that the engine is trying to invoke the show method and pass it
"new_special" as an id. am very confused! I even deleted the
''show''
method but it still calls it!
I''ve tried cycling the server and looked everywhere... thanks.
Alex

This is easy. Say you have a controller users_controller.rb, then in
config/routes.rb change:
map.resources :users
to:
map.resources :users, :collection => {:new_special => :get}

Cool. I think I get this (poked a page or two to understand what ":collection" was. I''ll play around. thank you very kindly! Jaime Bellmyer wrote:> This is easy.
