I have added the new map.connect in routes.rb like this

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id/:page’

but it seems like the cache\_pages only create the  
controller\_name/action\_name/id.html file in the public directory.

and I expect the controller\_name/action\_name/id/page.html

for different id number the rails create a series page number html files  
in a directory named with the id.

What should I do?

I have search for a few days and can’t find the answer.

Could anyone help me?

Where in your routes.rb file do you have that route? I’m wondering  
whether another route is matching first.

Here’s what I did to simulate what you’ve got:

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id/:extra’

and then connected to:

[http://localhost:3000/items/show/1/extra](http://localhost:3000/items/show/1/extra)

and I got this file created:

public/items/show/1/extra.html

So it should work, which makes me think maybe it’s a route ordering  
problem.

You are right. now the cache pages are created.

Thank you very much for your help.
