Hi all,

I have a custom method in my controller called ‘generate’.

when requested localhost:3000/import/generate I see “Couldn’t find
Import with ID=generate”.

How customize a route for this method?

help please…

map.connect ‘/import/generate/’, :controller => ‘import’, :action =>
‘generate’

The dryer solution is to use map.resource & restful urls for most
actions, and use non-restful actions sparingly.

try to put into config/routes.rb:

map.connect ‘:controller/:action’

after:

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’

final result:

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action’

Hope this helps…
