I am trying to use wice grid plugin and I have run into problem. The  
problem is when I have nested paths as follows:

Hardware :has\_many installed\_softwares  
Software :has\_many installed\_softwares

installed\_softwares belongs\_to both

when I view individual hardware, I have a link “Installed Software” -\>  
hardware\_installed\_softwares

when I use wicegrid to view installed software and I create a link to  
show, edit and delete. nothing displays on the page. when i look at  
page source – there is on

here is the view:

\<%= grid(@installed\_softwares) do |g|  
g.column :column\_name =\>‘Software:’, :attribute\_name =\> ‘name’,  
:no\_filter =\> true,  
:model\_class =\> Software do |isoftware|  
isoftware.software.name  
end

g.column do |isoftware|  
link\_to “Show”,  
hardware\_installed\_softwares\_path(:hardware\_id,isoftware)  
end  
end %\>

here is controller view:  
class InstalledSoftwaresController \< ApplicationController  
def index

# @hardware = Hardware.find(params[:hardware\_id])

# @softwares = @hardware.find(:hardware\_id).installed\_softwares

@installed\_softwares = initialize\_grid(InstalledSoftware,  
:include =\> :software,  
:conditions =\> [‘hardware\_id =  
?’,params[:hardware\_id]],  
:per\_page =\> 20)  
end

I am attaching the output. And thank you in advance for your help
