Ok..so that's what I mean: I need to create a new view where I want to insert for istance (and in this exact case) a form that I use to upload a file and then process the file. So in first place I create a view "new2.html.erb" in my view folder associated to a controller let's say "references" with a form in it. so now i have in the "view/references" folder this new file
how can I access this view? can I without creating a method? I guess I don't because when I type http://localhost:3000/references/new2 i get that error: "Couldn't find Reference with ID=new2" (but it render the page with the form if I had any kind of id after, i.e. http://localhost:3000/references/new2/1 ) the question is: why for istance the "index" page or the "new" generated by the scaffold can render the page (and the form in case of new) without passing any ID and I can't now? what's the rule underneath? my new2.html.erb page contain this: -- <h1>New reference csv</h1> <% form_for :reference, @references, :method => :get, :url => {:action => 'new'} do %> <p>Filename: <%= text_field_tag "file_tag" %> </p> <p> <%= submit_tag("Carica csv") %></p> <% end %> <%= link_to 'Back', references_path %> -- (I've redefined the new method to parse a csv file) and the routes.rb is the default one given by rails with the only restful defined like this: -- map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' -- I've tried to add something like: map.connect ':controller/:action.:format' but it does not do the trick .. :D I'd like to understand how this work in general more than solve this particular problem :) thank u all :) andrea On 11 Mar, 22:41, Punit Rathore <li...@ruby-forum.com> wrote: > Andrea, > > You need to provide us with more information.
