Hey everyone,
I have to define a new function(called it "send") in my
controller(newsletter_controller.rb). In the routes.rb I added the
following line
match ''newsletters/send'' =>
''newsletters#show'', :as => :send
and in the html.erb I try to use the action send by:
<%= link_to ''Send Newsletter'', :action => :send %>
Everything is in the same controller(newsletters) however the error
occures No route matches {:action=>"send",
:controller=>"newsletters"}
Do I have to tell Rails that there is a new function in the controller?
Because it looks like Rails just can''t find the function send...
Is the match correct? I''m not really sure about the syntax of it and
which element means what...
Thanks for help!

> match ''newsletters/send'' => ''newsletters#show'', :as => :send >this makes no sense, if you have resources :newsletters declared and you are pointing at the show action witch has this form newsletters/:id and then you are not passing an id, it is correctly says that no route matches since the show action needs an id. What is that you are trying to achieve? because you appear to be wanting to point to a send action in the controller but then you make match point at the show action with this ''newsletters#show''>-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

In my controller in the function send is a method to send Newsletters via email. In show.html.erb the newsletter is shown to the administrator who is able to send it, by clicking on a button "Send Newsletter".> What is that you are trying to achieve? because you appear to be wanting > to point to a send action in the controllerI thought it would be nice to see the Newsletter again after it was sent. I hope this answers your questions. Thx -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It works! I added this in the routes.rb resources :newsletters do get ''send'', :on => :member end and in the controller I redirected to the page where the newsletters are shown...

Just to be clear. Having action named "send" in a controller is a very bad idea. "send" is a method available for every ruby object and it is quite important method. It is not a good idea to overwrite it. I would name it "deliver".
