Hi,

I’m trying to get a hang of REST, but I can’t seem to figure the  
following out by myself.

The problem is that all paths are working fine, such as event\_path,  
new\_event\_path etc.  
But update\_event\_path is not working. I guess there is some other way,  
but I have no idea which.  
So, what path should I use in my update form?

I hope you understand what I mean… If not, please say so.

Thanks in advance,  
pieter.

There is no update\_event\_path. You do an update by a PUT on event\_path

You probably need something like this:

\<% form\_for(:event, :url =\> event\_path(@event), :html =\> { :method  
=\> :put }) do |f| %\>

I always keep TopFunky’s REST cheat sheet handy:

If you haven’t done so already you should check out the peepcode REST  
screencast I highly recommend it. (Just a satisfied customer, not  
affiliated with PeepCode in anyway)

That’s what I needed, thank you!
