My route is as follows:  
map.namespace :admin do |admin|

admin.resources :campaigns, :collection=\>{  
:auto\_complete\_for\_client\_name=\>:post,  
:auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login=\>:post}  
end

The auto complete prototype POST request for the client\_name is  
working, but the user\_login never gets properly recognized.

Though I am able to recognize the route if I add it manually instead  
of using the resources. Is anyone having such problems?

This may not be any help, but I might learn something.

I pasted your route declaration and got, among others, these two  
routes from rake routes.

auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login\_admin\_campaigns POST /admin/campaigns/  
auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login  
{:controller=\>“admin/  
campaigns”, :action=\> “auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login”}

formatted\_auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login\_admin\_campaigns POST /admin/  
campaigns/auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login.:format  
{:controller=\>“admin/  
campaigns”, :action=\>“auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login”}

What route is it you don’t have?  
can you post the code that manually adds the route?

if you need to get rid of the admin in the route add “:name\_prefix =\>  
nil”  
auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login\_admin\_campaigns goes to:  
auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login\_campaigns

map.namespace :admin do |admin|

admin.resources :campaigns, :collection=\>{  
:auto\_complete\_for\_client\_name=\>:post,  
:auto\_complete\_for\_user\_login=\>:post}, :name\_prefix  
=\> nil  
end

Well thanks for the response. I am not sure what the error was. After  
I updated my rails copy to the more recent from edge, it started to  
work.
