map.resources :tires
generates the 'standard' CRUD routing. There are two additional options
I'll mention (probably should have done it earlier)...
:collection and :member
:collection lets you define additional routes that work on a collection
of that resource
map.resources :tires, :collection => {:thumbnailed => :get}
would give you
<%= link_to "Thumbnails!", thumbnailed_tires_path %>
targeted at
def thumbnailed
# your method code here
end
in the tires controller, which by default expects a
thumbnailed.html.erb view file
:member lets you define additional routes that work on a specific
instance of the collection
map.resources :tires, :member => {:print_label => :get}
would give you a
<%= link_to "Print a Label", print_label_tire_path(tire) %>
targeted at
def print_label
# your method code here
end
in the tires controller, which by default expects a
print_label.html.erb view file.
You can add as many collection and member routes as you like in
routes.rb
This is all probably better explained at
http://api.rubyonrails.org/v2.3.8/classes/ActionController/Resources.html
around the middle of the page.
Remember to restart your server after changing the routes.rb
