Hi,

I am new in rails 2.0 and above. I am using rails 2.2.  
I have a mapping “map.resources :accounts” in my routes.rb

I am facing the following problem:  
I have following code in my erb file  
Photo 1

Whenever I am clicking on this link I am redirecting to the accounts  
show method.  
I already added “select\_photo” method in my account controller.  
Anyone can help urgent. I stuck due to this.  
Also, I am very curious about this issue.  
Anyone can explain why it has happened?  
Please give me solution for the same.

Thanks,  
Tushar

you should read-up on REST.

still (without knowing your code) you can just use routes the old  
fashioned style like you used to have them in rails \< 2.
