MethodNotAllowed

I am trying to develop an application that allows users to submit articles and add information about the references they used when citing facts. I have the sources broken down into types, such as books, periodicals, web-sites, etc as single table inheritance on the sources table. Routes are nested so that :articles, :has_many => :sources When trying to edit a source, through the "edit" view, I get "ActionController::MethodNotAllowed - only get, put, and delete requests are allowed". This should flow through the "update" action, which is a put method, and when I used rake routes on the command line it looks like it is routed correctly PUT /articles/:article_id/ sources/:id(.:format) {:controller => "sources", :action => "update"}

My edit view contains the following code:

<% form_for :source, @source, :url => {:action => "update"} do |f| %>

....form fields....

<%= f.submit "Update" %>

<% end %>

My controller has the following code:

def edit   @source = @article.sources.find(params[:id]) end

def update   @source = @article.sources.find(params[:id])   if @source.update_attributes(params[:source])     flash[:notice]...     redirect_to article_path(@article) #@article is derived from before filter   else     render :action => "edit"   end end

Any suggestions?

Thanks for you help!!!

<% end %> Try this

def edit @source = @article.sources.new end

I added

<% form_for([@article, @source), :method => :put, :url => {:action => "update"}) do |f| %>

and things seem to be working now.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post, and offering suggestions!
