I have a profiles controller and added a method named student\_add. I  
would like to access this method via:

[http://localhost/profiles/add/student](http://localhost/profiles/add/student)

However, when I add the route "map.connect ‘profiles/student/  
add’, :controller =\> ‘profile’, :action =\> ‘student\_add’

I am given the following error:

Unknown action  
No action responded to add

Obviously I’m doing something wrong here. I would like to have a few  
different methods in my profiles controller and access them each with

[http://localhost/profiles/add/](http://localhost/profiles/add/)

such as

[http://localhost/profiles/add/student](http://localhost/profiles/add/student)  
[http://localhost/profiles/add/partner](http://localhost/profiles/add/partner)  
[http://localhost/profiles/add/faculty](http://localhost/profiles/add/faculty)

Am I going about the method/routing the wrong way?

The controller should be plural

:controller =\> ‘profiles’
