hi

i want to accomplish this:
forms/:id
forms/:id/list (action list)

forms/:id/card/:x (action showcard)

resources :forms do
get ‘list’, :action => ‘list’ #<< ok
get ‘card/:x’ , :action=> ‘showcard’ #, :as => ‘card’
<<crash
no method defined…

end

and how would my link_to path look like? im going in circles. thx

Hi,

Some questions came up to my mind when looking at your routes.

  • Do you really need a list action? Doesn’t index action fill your
    needs?
  • Card seems to be another entitity. If It is true it would be better
    to
    use nested routes.

Using nested routes is easy:
resources :forms do
resources :cards, only: [:show] # if you need just show action :slight_smile:
end

Checkout the docs
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#nested-resources for nested
resources and here
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#creating-paths-and-urls-from-objects
you
can look for how to use link_to and nested routes :slight_smile:

I’m sorry if I went in the wrong direction.
