Hi hope this code will help you, this is the code i used and it has  
worked for me. So, please see to it.

def index  
redirect\_to :action=\> ‘view’, :name =\> ‘Home’  
end

def view  
@name = params[:name]  
@page = Page.find\_by\_name(@name)  
end

def edit  
@name = params[:name]  
@page = Page.find\_by\_name(@name)  
end

def save  
@content = params[:content]  
@name = params[:name]  
@page = Page.find\_by\_name(@name)

if !@page  
@page = Page.create(:name =\> @name)  
end

Revision.create(:page =\> @page, :content =\> @content)

redirect\_to :action =\> :view, :name =\> @name  
end
