I did some modification to my installment of savage beast 2 but I am  
getting the following error whenever I edit and create forum, topic,  
or post

NoMethodError (undefined method `controller_name' for nil:NilClass): /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/ action_controller/caching.rb:655:in`callback’  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/  
action\_controller/caching.rb:637:in `after’

after some investigation, for some reason the \*\_path are not returning  
restful url.  
for example,  
/forums/1/topics/1/posts/11/edit?page=1  
now becomes  
/posts/11/edit?forum\_id=1&topic\_id=1

and i think this is why my edit and create doesn’t work anymore.

Do you have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?  
Thanks in advance!
