Hi all!

I have the following URL structure:

/informations # Just a normal controller without any scaffolding  
functionality  
/informations/encyclopedia # Another normal controller  
/informations/news # A scaffold controller which scaffolds the News  
model

My routes look like this:

map.namespace :informations do |informations|  
informations.encyclopedia ‘encyclopedia/:action’, :controller =\>  
‘encyclopedia’  
informations.resources :news  
end

I would expect now to be able to use the following URL path helpers:

informations\_url # Does not work!  
informations\_encyclopedia\_url # Does not work!  
informations\_news\_path # Does work!

Why do the 1st two not work?

Thanks  
Josh
