Im new to ROR but i started prior to ROR 2.02. I spent a lot of time with the Depot app from “Agile web development 2nd” then upgraded to 2.02 and have learned alot getting the Depot app to work. the app works well exept for in the following condition: -------From the edit view (app/views/admin) \<% form\_tag :action =\> ‘update’,:id =\> @product do %\> \<%= render :partial =\> ‘form’ %\> \<%= submit\_tag “Update” %\> -------should envoke the update action in the admin\_controller def update @product = Product.find(params[:id]) if @product.update\_attributes(params[:product]) flash[:notice] = ‘Product was successfully updated.’ redirect\_to :action =\> ‘show’, :id =\> @product else render :action =\> ‘edit’ end end ------UnknownAction (No action responded to 1): it looks like the :id is getting set in place of the action.

You need to specify a :method =\> “put” into your form\_tag. It should also be form\_for(@product) which should do all that url stuff for you.

To correct the error: undefined method `product\_path’ for #ActionView::Base:0x22cd024 Add this line to your routes.rb file: map.resources :products (You can see this is in the example code in the book.)
