Hi there, I have been searching these discussions for a while trying to find an answer to this question. I am learning rails and have been analyzing basecamp a bit more trying to figure out how they did different things. One thing that I noticed was that the URL, once you are inside of a project, always has the project and id in the url. So, I click MY Project, and the URL goes to this: /projects/my\_project\_id/project/log now when i click the to do’s tab, the URL goes to this: projects/my\_project\_id/todos What I am wondering is what controller action is being routed to here? Is it the Projects/view action and then that action renders partials based on what comes after the project ID? Or is it something else? Its kind of late an I hope this makes sense. Thanks! ---

It’s RESTful routing, and by the looks of things they have a TodosController handling that. Read my guide to gain a better understanding of restful routing: > **[frozenplague.net](http://frozenplague.net/2008/01/06/restful-routing-an-overview/)** > > This domain may be for sale!
