I have created a blog by following the instructions detailed in the now-famous blog screencast. Now, I'm attempting to increase my knowledge of Rails by accomplishing that same feat in a more hands-on way (i.e., without a scaffold). One perplexing issue that I have encountered is that when I created the blog using a scaffold the various template files that were created contained several instances of mysterious code that looked similar to this:
<%= link_to 'Back', posts_path %>
and this:
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(@post) %>
In the above, 'posts_path' and 'edit_post_path' appear to be methods; but, I can't find where these methods are defined. If I insert similar code into the blog that I created without a scaffold, Rails complains about a missing method. Can someone please explain what the story is on the mysterious methods?
Thanks for any input.
