Hello,

Well I am working on an app and wanted to make some changes on the
URL’s. I have the following:

#—
map.resources :groups do |groups|
groups.resources :events, :member => { :invite => :get }
end
#—

So my events are mapping into:

#—
http://www.xxx.com/groups/1/events/2
#—

What I want to do now is take out the ‘group’ from there and only
leave the id. Make it look like this:

#—
http://www.xxx.com/1/events/2
#—

I tried something like the following and now I have an events_path
route that works.

#—
map.events ‘:group_id/events’, :controller => ‘events’, :action =>
‘index’
#—

My question is: Should I then repeat this same line 5 times to map all
the other actions? That without counting the member actions? It
seems to me that when using map.resources there’s no way of taking the
controller name out of there. I think the only way is mapping each
routes independently, which is a long and tedious thing to do.

map.events_new ….
map.events_create…
…
..

It’s there any other way to do this?

Thanks for your attention,

Elías

I believe there is a typo in the second code fragment shown on this page:

1. :map.connect ”, :controller => “albums”, :action => “index”

should not have the leading colon. The corrected line would be:

1. map.connect ”, :controller => “albums”, :action => “index”

Thanks for posting this tutorial. It has increased my understanding of Rails routing.

WordPress question for ya… what’s the name of the plugin you use to render Ruby on Rails code so prettily on your site?

Thanks so much,
Liana

I have fixed line 81. I needed to add some extra spaces into the line to stop WordPress from manipulating it. My apologise for the confusion that arose from that.

hi Daryn,
I know there should end the ‘}’. But didn’t find the place for ‘{‘ for the ending the code. Code is
format.html {redirect_to(:controller => “albums”, :action => “index”)}" }

first error and all the errors for this line and the error is

music_store/app/controllers/albums_controller.rb:81: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kDO or ‘{’ or ‘(’
format.html {redirect_to(:controller => “albums”, :action => “index”)}" }

I try to fix this error but fail.

thanks lot about ur consideration.

Hi Asanga, let me ask you to do one more check. Make sure that you have once closing bracket for each opening one – notice that I only have one ‘}’.

If that does not fix your problem, let me know and we can fix it via email.
