def list routing

Hi!

I have made an scaffold for Item table like script/generate scaffold Item. Everything went fine, but now i like to add list action to controller

Def list    $items = Item.finde(:all) end I have added it, but how i can see the template like http://address/items/list

Can i redirect it some how? Action index does same thing as list action,but i want to make different kind of view for those.

I think you did not declare it in your rooting file.

Try to add/update something like that :

map.resources :items,    :collection => {      :list => :get    }

Hope this helps.

I would be more concerned with the fact he’s defining $items in his action…

The $ signifies a global variable, which I personally have never found a use for. Change the $ to a @ to make it an instance variable so the variable is only defined for that instance.
