hi there,

I am trying to create nested routes

i have controller explores without model. (i.e this controller dont  
have model)  
And then there are other two.  
so i am trying to create routes like this .

map.resources :explores do |explore|  
explore.resources :categories do |category|  
category.resources :hobbies  
end  
end

but this creating routes for explore\_category\_hobbies\_path

/explores/explore\_id/category/category\_id/hobbies etc.

I dont want explore\_id into routes

i want it to create the path like this  
/explores/category/category\_id/hobbies

Can anyone help me.

try  
map.resource :explore  
i think leaving the “s” off resources will do what you want
