:) It doesn''t actually say that. I figured it was easier to change the
text
to represent an easier concept than the actual app.

I did discover that i need to pass the arguments in this way though. Rather
than specifying :action_id=> id as a parameter, I needed to add it to the
link.

Eg user_actions_path(:action_id=>id), :method=>:post

This of course still didn''t enter it in correctly, but I could read
:action_id out in the controller. Looking at the controller code it was
reading the param :action out.
So the way to call this is.

user_actions_path(:action=>{:action_id => id})

So now I can post all the data by working it out from the page. I''m
surprised the information to do this was so hard.
