It seems that the single resource has introduced an issue of with  
uncountable names, like ‘fish’.

Does anybody know more about that?

The experiment is very simple:  
Just try:

./script/generate scaffold\_resource fish name:string

do your db migration and the hitting ‘new’ generates:

fish\_url failed to generate from {:controller=\>“fish”, :action=\>“show”}

- you may have ambiguous routes, or you may need to supply additional  
parameters for this route. content\_url has the following required  
parameters: [“fish”, :id] - are they all satisifed?
