Hi,

I have a resource where an action needs an extra argument.

link\_to ‘message’, action\_resource\_path(:argument =\> ‘something’)  
creates a link:  
/resource/action?argument=something.

In order to make this appear like ‘/resource/action/something’ do I  
have to use map.connect or is there a better option using  
map.resources?
