I can’t explain where those differences come from.

In one Project I can use the link\_to without any problems.  
Like this:  
\<%= link\_to “LINKNAME”, :action =\> “destroy”, :id =\> ID %\>

But in another project… That happens

\<%= link\_to “delete”, :action =\> “destroy”, :id =\> ticket.id %\>  
\<%= link\_to “edit”, :action =\> “edit”, :id =\> ticket.id %\>

and that creates a link to → [http://localhost:3000/tickets/2](http://localhost:3000/tickets/2)  
 → [http://localhost:3000/tickets/2/edit](http://localhost:3000/tickets/2/edit)

What i want is → [http://localhost:3000/tickets/destroy/2](http://localhost:3000/tickets/destroy/2)  
 → [http://localhost:3000/tickets/edit/2](http://localhost:3000/tickets/edit/2)

Slight but important difference.

Can somebody tell me, where I have to configure this?

Thanks a lot!!!

I tried that, but it gives me this:  
[http://localhost:3000/tickets/index/2?method=edit](http://localhost:3000/tickets/index/2?method=edit)

Did I do something wrong?

Dont be worry about that, it is natural link process if you not describe  
link rule in config/routes.rb, like :

map.destroy\_tiket ‘:controller/destroy/:id’, :controller =\> ‘tickets’,  
:action =\> ‘destroy’

I hope my suggestion can help you. good luck.
