Routes.rb problem

Rails
1

I am having problem with routes.rb

I want to access same page using two different url’s for that i had done
following in routes.rb
1] map.connect ‘projects/:project_id/issues/:action’, :controller =>
‘issues’
so when my url is
http://localhost:3000/projects/xyz/issues/new

i access the new.rhtml page of a issue controller

what i want that when i write simply

http://localhost:3000/issues/new it should render me to the action new
of a issues controller.

i try something like this in routes.rb

map.connect ‘issues/:action’, :controller => ‘issues’, :action=>‘new’

and then restart the server but it doesn’t works…

Why not just map.resources :issues and go from there? That is a
RESTful resource, right?

Where does the application take you when you go to /issues/new? You
can always comment out other routes until you find the one that is
causing the conflict…

Can you show us your rake routes to see what you have defined?

you should always use… RESTful routes… instead of above try this:

map.resources :projects, :has_many => :issues

Try this in irb

rts = ActionController::Routing::Routes
rts.recognize_path(“issues/new”)

and it’ll return the route that maps to it
