Hello,  
I have this object in a controller action. The controller is named  
“Translation”

def detail  
@house = House.find(:params[:id])  
end

the action loads a view, localhost/translation/detail

\<% form\_for @house do |f| %\>  
\<%= f.text\_area :descrizioneEng, :cols =\> 80, :rows =\> 6, %\>  
[…]  
\<%= f.submit “salva” %\>  
\<% end -%\>

the passed parameters are right, the db gets updated correctly,  
but then I get the localhost/houses/5  
page loaded. I’d like to get translation/list instead…

thanks!

Where the user goes after a create or update is the controller’s  
decision…

Here is the controller action…

def update  
@house = House.find(params[:id])

```
 if @house.update_attributes(params[:house])
   flash[:notice] = "Traduzione salvata"
 end

```

end

maybe I found the cause, routes.rb has  
map.resources :houses

If you want to go to a different page from the update action just add  
a redirect\_to list\_translations\_url or something like that after the  
flash[:notice]

Your route.rb looks correct
