Hello all - I have looked through the newsgroups and been unable to find my specific issue, or a resolution, and I am stuck, so I am posting to ask for help, or a link to something I may have missed. I have an application that allows users to log in, create a project and associate locations with their projects. I am using nested resources to map users to projects to resources as follows: DEMO03::Application.routes.draw do root :to => "sessions#new" resources :sessions resources :users do resources :projects do resources :locations end end get "logout" => "sessions#destroy", :as => "logout" get "login" => "sessions#new", :as => "login" get "signup" => "users#new", :as => "signup" get "secret" => "secret#index" end If I run rake routes, I get routes that allow me to get to user_project_locations and user_projects (among others). However, when I attempt to redirect_to user_project_locations from my sessions controller after creating a new session as follows: def create user = User.find_by_email(params[:email]) if user && user.authenticate(params[:password]) session[:user_id] = user.id redirect_to user_projects, :notice => "#{current_user.email} logged in." else flash.now.alert = "Invalid email or password" render "new" end end I received an error indicating there was no index method in my sessions controller. I tried adding the following: def index redirect_to user_projects, :notice => "#{current_user.email} logged in - from Controller index." end and got the following: undefined local variable or method `user_projects'' for #<SessionsController:0x00000103d61380> It looks like for some reason I cannot use named routes that rake output suggests should be available. I also tried nesting user, project and location inside sessions (which intuitively seemed wrong, but tried it anyway) - which also didn''t work. Not sure how to diagnose further. Any assistance would be appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
