custom method routes in a nested has_one resource?

I'm struggling with the syntax for some routes - can anyone set me straight?

a lesson has_one plan. lesson has a bunch of custom methods (this is all fine) plan needs some custom methods as well - i have these set up in a non-nested way, eg /plans/1/plan_pdf rather than, as it should be,

/lessons/23/plan/plan_pdf

My regular actions all work in a nice, nested way:

/lessons/23/plan [GET] goes to the show action. It's just the custom actions i can't work out - where do i put them in routes.rb? this is what i have already for lessons and plans:

map.resources :lessons, :has_one => [:plan], :member => { :preview => :get, :detail => :get, :download => :get, :online_xml => :get, :offline_xml => :get, :remove_asset => :get, :delete_missing_elements => :post, :update_asset_positions => :get, :scorm_download => :get, :add_non_interactive_activity => :post }

map.resources :plans, :has_many => [:schedule_columns, :schedule_entries], :member => {:add_learning_objective => :post, :plan_pdf => :get}

It never makes sense to call a plan outside of the context of a lesson so it's fine to make plan a totally nested resource: just as a has_one rather than has_many.

thanks max

Actually i think i figured it out - this seems to work ok:

map.resources :lessons, :member => { :preview => :get, :detail => :get,                                      :download => :get, :online_xml => :get,                                      :offline_xml => :get, :remove_asset => :get,                                      :delete_missing_elements => :post,                                      :update_asset_positions => :get,                                      :scorm_download => :get,                                      :add_non_interactive_activity => :post                                    } do |lessons|   lessons.resource :plan, :has_many => [:schedule_columns, :schedule_entries],                           :member => {:add_learning_objective => :post,                                       :plan_pdf => :get} end

seems kind of obvious now :slight_smile:
