Hi guys,  
i’ve created a scaffold in an admin folder. the folders are app/  
controllers/admin/books\_controller and app/views/admin/index, new  
etc…  
I changed routes.rb to look like this:

…  
map.resources :books  
…  
map.namespace :admin do |admin|  
admin.resources :books  
end  
…

But i am having problems with the actions inside index.hmtl.erb. This  
is my view(scaffold):

…  
\<% for book in @books %\>

 \<%=h book.title %\> \<%=h book.description %\> \<%= link\_to 'Show', book %\> \<%= link\_to 'Edit', edit\_admin\_book\_path(book) %\> \<%= link\_to 'Destroy', book, :confirm =\> 'Are you sure?', :method =\> :delete %\> \<% end %\> ...

\<%= link\_to ‘New book’, new\_admin\_book\_path %\>

‘New\_book’ and ‘Edit’ works but others does not work.When i change in  
‘Show’ action the book to admin\_book(helper method) i get an error.  
What changes do i have to make to the code to make it work??

Thanx in advance  
Kostas L.
