Re: [Rails] Re: Silly little link_to question
sure, if you wanted to name it ":company_id=>@company.id" then in the routes file you would have to do map.connect ':controller/:action/:company_id' or else it will interpet as one cgi query parameter regards On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 8:01 PM, richardsugg wrote: > Well, I got around it, but I'd like to know why the original way > didn't work because I'm certain this will come up again.

[Rails] Re: Silly little link_to question
What do you have in your by_company method? looks like you had in your find statement - params[:id] and it should have been params[:company_id] You might take a look at generating a class method in your model file: def self.by_company( anId ) find(:all, :conditions => ["company_id = ?", anId] ) end The you can refer to this by Model_name.by_company( x ) Or a named scope - some things to look at.

[Rails] Re: Silly little link_to question
Well, I got around it, but I'd like to know why the original way didn't work because I'm certain this will come up again. Here's what I did: I changed the link_to to be <%= link_to "people",:controller => "people", :action => "by_company", :id => @company.id %> which created the link http://my-server-name/people/by_company/1 Thanks for looking at this. I'm sure this is a very easy question for someone who has done this a while, but that would not (yet) be me :) On Jun 22, 2:55 pm, richardsugg wrote: > Routes file: > > ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map| > map.resources :people > map.resources :users > map.root :controller => "homepage" > map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' > map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' > end' > > On Jun 22, 2:51 pm, Rui Carvalho wrote: > > > > > How do you have this on your routes file? > > > On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 7:34 PM, richardsugg wrote: > > > I want to show a page that lists people that belong to a particular > > > company (each person has a company_id).
