So I want to use components so parts of my code are more modular, and  
this maybe a newbie mistake, but it seems to me that if you using  
components in a modular way, you can’t redirect or render anything  
from your original application. Is this true or am I just overlooking  
something?

Here is some code:

class Comments::CommentsController \< ActionController::Base  
uses\_component\_template\_root  
…  
def vote  
@comment = Comment.find(params[:id])

# comment.rating += params[:rating]

```
if @comment.save
  redirect_to :controller => '/community', :action => 'show', :id

```

=\> params[:design\_id]  
…  
end

That redirect will take me to homepage/comments/comments//community/  
show/id  
but I want it to take me to homepage/community/show/id

Any ideas?

:controller =\> ‘/community’

should be

:controller =\> ‘community’

remove the forward slash, and you’ll be fine 😉
