Yep, scaffolding is one of those things everyone, including myself - finds out about later on. Then there's always some unloved MVC that gets forgotten in the shuffle. Again, glad you got everything working out. Routing is very important and one of the intricate parts of rails. You can also limit your routing for each of those scaffolds by doing something similar: Say you want to restrict the route only to the index and you have RESTful methods in each of your scaffolds.. you can do : map.resources :name_of_controller, '/route' You can also name specific routes/custom actions by.. map.name_of_route :name_of_route, :controller => 'name_of_controller', :action => 'custom_method' And, you can also further provide a catchall route for anything not specified in your routes by doing the following: map.connect "*anything", :controller => 'your_controller', :action => 'request_error_page' Place this one at the very bottom of your routes and create a custom view named request_error_page.html.erb and you can intercept anything that's out of scope. Routing is also important with where you place things. For instance, this last line if you placed it at the top of your routes file, it would catch everything and none of your other routes would work. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
