it’s url is like this [http://127.0.0.1:3000/pro\_categories/1](http://127.0.0.1:3000/pro_categories/1) but i have  
no pro\_categories controller so i want to define this delete method in  
admin controller and i want to delete pro\_categories’s record.(actually  
i have procategorie model.)

either fiddle with your routes so that you have an admin namespace (so  
that you can do stuff like link\_to ‘destroy’, admin\_product\_path  
(p), …) or don’t use the restful stuff.

ok dear i have to fix this problem

in destroy code like this  
\<%= link\_to ‘Destroy’,:confirm =\> ‘Are you sure?’,:action =\>  
‘destroycat’,:id =\> p.id, :method =\> :delete %\>

p.id it take only id only p take pro\_categories so that if we r make  
such type it is possible

and controller file like this

def destroycat  
@pro\_categorie = ProCategorie.find(params[:id])  
@pro\_categorie.destroy  
respond\_to do |format|  
format.html { redirect\_to(admins\_url) }  
format.xml { head :ok }  
end  
end
