Hello, I'm new to rails so this will be a noob question.
Let's say I scaffold sth. named "foos". Rails generates a controller named foos_controller.rb with index, show, new, edit, create, update and destroy. The routes.rb contains map.resources :foos map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' So, by visiting "/foos/new" I can create a new "foo". By visiting / foos/new/1 I get routed to the show action with the parameter id=1 that shows the contents of this object. Okay, i get that. But, what happens when I go to "/foos/1/edit". This is not matching "map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'" since action and id are switched. Is scaffold doing some magic here, that I can't find in the sources? When I add a method, say "my_edit" with the exact content of the "edit" method, i get "Unknown action No action responded to 1.", what I expected because my URI is not matching the map.connect in the routes.rb. Short questions: How does rails know the routing of /foos/1/edit without the map.connect? When i want to create something like that, how do I do that? Sorry for my poor english.
