Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with nested routes and I don't know what I'm missing. I have a "products" resource, which has a "available" collection action.

map.resources :courses, :member =\> { :confirm =\> :get}, :collection =\> { :available =\> :get }

Then I have the "users" resource, which has many "products"

map.resources :users, :has\_many =\> [:subscriptions, :courses]

The problem is that if I try to access "available" products through a user (/users/3/courses/available) I get redirected to the "show" action with parameters: Parameters: {"action"=\>"show", "id"=\>"available", "user\_id"=\>"3", "controller"=\>"products"}

I can't find the relevant section in the routing guide and I can't figure it out. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanx a lot in advance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assuming what you specified "products" is "courses". Change your routes as below

map.resources :users do |user| &nbsp;&nbsp;user.resources :courses, :member =\> { :confirm =\> :get}, :collection =\> {available =\> :get } &nbsp;&nbsp;user.resources :subscriptions end

Yes, sorry, I mixed two applications with the same problem here.

> map.resources :users do |user| user.resources :courses, :member =\> { :confirm =\> :get}, :collection =\> {available =\> :get } user.resources :subscriptions end

This worked like a charm. Thanx a lot!
