That's great that you're learning a new language. I really hope you have tons of fun and make a whole lot of neat stuff. Keep us posted, kay?
On forms: The :action property is optional - if you omit it, it'll submit the form to the same URL you're currently on in your web browser. You use R() in the action just like you'd use it on an a(:href => R(…)) link. The thing about PageX, is that it takes one thing with it, the X - so it's urls look like /page/something/, and you kind of need to tell it what the something is. If you make a controller called, say, class MyCoolStuff; then you can just :action towards R(MyCoolStuff) and that'll be that. I hope that clears things up a bit. — Bluebie On 30/08/2011, at 1:47 PM, Anonymous Waffles wrote: > Hello guys, I'm new to the Ruby, and especially to Camping.
