Hello

me another fresh man of ROR also using "agile web development with rails" as a reference book

I got problem with scaffold now I use Rails2.0.2,ruby 1.8,apatana platform , generate the products controller and the product model It seems work perfectly

but when I try to add a new action name "ship" into the controller and a new page names "ship.rhtml" corresponding to it things goes wrong, it looks like this: ......................................................................................................................... ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in ProductsController #show

Couldn't find Product with ID=ship ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` the probelm is , it's not an ID I input , i want it to be an action request!!

what can i do to avoid this problem? or just abandom scaffold ?

Hi,

It's a problem with your routes and the fact that you are using a non- RESTful action name. If you want to remain true to RESTful conventions, you should probably create a shipping controller. If you want to keep the action in your current controller, you will need to add a specific route to your routes.rb file.
