Questions on routing

Ruby
#1

I have two questions on routing if any one has some spare time.

  1. Is there any way to declare a resource and have its routes use
    something other than :id? so that it ends up that /users/:user_name maps
    to the show action

  2. I noticed when I define a custom rout like

match ‘/passwords/:user_name/edit’

I don’t get any named paths that show up when I run rake routes

Is there any way to say something like

match ‘/passwords/:user_name/edit’, :name => :change_password

so that I can use it like

link_to change_password_path @user

Thank you every one hope all is well

One forum over you’ll find the Rails guys. You’ll find better (and
faster!) answers to your Rails questions there. :slight_smile:

A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start,
and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.

match ‘/passwords/:user_name/edit’, :name => :change_password

Don’t use :name, use :as.
