Hi everbody,

I'm new in the forum. I' studing ruby and rails and I hope learn faster with the help of the forum.

Well, my problem is basic. I have made a scaffold to create a new object User. User has name, email and password.

I created a new view named "login", but i don't know how to make the route to this view. I Have the function in the controller too.

Cbapp::Application.routes.draw do   resources :users   root :to => 'users#index'   match 'users/login' => 'users#login' end

and I got this error: Couldn't find User with id=login

Thanks!

I suggest your best plan might be to work right through a tutorial on rails to help you to understand the basics. railstutorial.org is good and is free to use online. Make sure that any tutorial you use is for Rails 3 and that you use exactly the right version of rails that the tutorial expects.

WOW! I don't believe it. I only have to reorder the lines as hazardco said!

SOLVED! but i have a question. Why reorder the lines solved my problem?

anyway thanks guy.

rules order in routes.rb is important: users resource 'users/:id' matches before 'users/login' so login is the id :slight_smile: you can invert the order of the rules or, better, use a member:

Cbapp::Application.routes.draw do    resources :users do      member do        get 'login'      end    end    root :to => 'users#index' end

Take a look here: Rails Routing from the Outside In — Ruby on Rails Guides

Sorry, use a collection, not a member:

Cbapp::Application.routes.draw do    resources :users do      collection do        get 'login'      end    end    root :to => 'users#index' end
