Undifined method! driving me insane!

Hi all,

im new to ruby on rails, this is my first project and im stuck on a
rather (i expect) simple problem. :frowning:

ive made a link

<%= link_to “Profile”, show_profile_path %>

in my main application.html.erb

i have a profiles_controller.rb with the method “show” in it

“def show
@profile = Profile.find(current_user.id)
end”

and i have “resources :profiles” in my routers.rb

i also have a show.html.erb file with in

my profile

but i keep getting the error

“undefined method ‘show_profile_path’ for …”

it dosnt make any sence to me as ive got another link to
new_profile_path that works?!

please help, much thanks Al

next time type rake routes and look at the names of the helpers there
you
will see the helper for the show action is

profile_path no show_profile_path, the output of rake route does not add
the
path ad the end because it could be something else

like url, e.g. profile_url
