rails 3 routes

I'm a little confused about custom routes in rails 3. I have a variable that I had a default value for in rails 2, and changing it to rails 3 version gives this:

match 'stories/list/:story_list/:search' => 'stories#index', :as => 'story_list', :story_list => 'popular', :search => nil

When I use the route, I just call story_list_path(:story_list => 'search', :search => 'something')

this worked in rails 2, but I'm getting this error in rails 3:

No route matches {:story_list=>"search", :controller=>"stories"}

I can't find out how to fix this as tutorials on the web just go over basic changes and what not.

Well, you didn't quote the lines you were replying to, and you didn't state what you were wondering...so I'm left wondering how to read your mind. :smiley:

In future, please just ask what you need to ask.

Best,

what is your output of : % rake routes | grep stories

After a few days of experimenting I think I got it fixed. All I did was make the search variable optional, and removing it also does the trick.
