I’m trying to figure this.

in my schools controller i want to do this…

# implement a create action to create just the review for the

School…  
def create\_review\_for\_a\_school

```
@review = Review.new
@school = School.find(params[:school_id])
@review = @school.reviews.build(params[:review])

if @review.save # The creation worked....do this

   flash[:notice] = 'Review was successfully updated.'
   format.html { redirect_to(@school) }
   # format.xml { head :ok }

else # if it didnt save do this...
   format.html { render :action => "show" }
end

```

end

as a result I think i need a route…something like this…

map.connect ‘/schools/:school\_id/reviews/new’, :controller =\> ‘schools’,  
:action =\> ‘create\_review\_for\_a\_school’

and also my form submit button for creating a review - how should that  
look ?

I guess like this…

\<% form\_for [@school, Review.new] do |f| %\>

* * *

But it’s still going to the reviews new action I’d like it to go to the  
def create\_review\_for\_a\_school action?

any tips?
