I am just getting started with Rails 3 and I do not quite understand
how to go about renaming routes.
**What I want:**
To rename the path to the users#show controller/action pair. So
instead of the URL being www.example.com/users/show/1 it would just be
www.example.com/1/home
In the future, I'd also like to be able to add additional paths onto
the end such as:
www.example.com/1/home/profile/
**How my user resources are set up:**
resources :users, :except => [:destroy] do
resources :favorites, :only => [:show, :update]
resources :profiles, :only => [:show, :update]
end
**What I tried:**
match :home, :to => 'users#show'
**What happened:**
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in UsersController#show
Couldn't find User without an ID
**What's in the development.log file:**
Started GET "/home" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-03-10 13:36:15 -0500
Processing by UsersController#show as HTML
[1m[35mUser Load (1.6ms)[0m SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE
("users"."id" = 101) LIMIT 1
Completed in 192ms
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound (Couldn't find User without an ID):
app/controllers/users_controller.rb:19:in `show'
**What's in the user controller:**
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.haml
end
end
So, apparently it is storing the user id, as shown in the development
log as 101 but for whatever reason I am still getting this error?
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
