Hi guys, i've created a scaffold in an admin folder. the folders are app/ controllers/admin/books\_controller and app/views/admin/index, new etc... I changed routes.rb to look like this:

... map.resources :books .... map.namespace :admin do |admin| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;admin.resources :books &nbsp;&nbsp;end ...

But i am having problems with the actions inside index.hmtl.erb. This is my view(scaffold):

... \<% for book in @books %\> &nbsp;&nbsp;\<tr\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<td\>\<%=h book.title %\>\</td\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<td\>\<%=h book.description %\>\</td\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<td\>\<%= link\_to 'Show', book %\>\</td\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<td\>\<%= link\_to 'Edit', edit\_admin\_book\_path(book) %\>\</td\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<td\>\<%= link\_to 'Destroy', book, :confirm =\> 'Are you sure?', :method =\> :delete %\>\</td\> &nbsp;&nbsp;\</tr\> \<% end %\> ...

\<%= link\_to 'New book', new\_admin\_book\_path %\>

'New\_book' and 'Edit' works but others does not work.When i change in 'Show' action the book to admin\_book(helper method) i get an error. What changes do i have to make to the code to make it work??

Thanx in advance Kostas L.
