routing to custom defined controller method

rubyonrails-talk

Hi, I'm developing my first rails project in Netbeans, with rails 2.1, I used scaffold to generate my models, views and controllers. The problem I'm having is that when I define a new method inside a controller i can not access it using a "normal" url like /controller/ action Instead, it can only be accessed by using a /controller/action/id kind of url. If i use the /controler/action url it goes to the "show" controller and throws an error.

Example: if I define this test1 method in users controllers It can only be accesed by /users/test1/someid instead of my desired /users/test1 class UsersController < ApplicationController

  def test1     flash[:notice] = "Entre a login"   end   #here go all other scaffolded methods end

I think it must have something to do with my routing, which is configured like this...

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|   map.resources :users   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' end

Please someone help me, thanks!

Have a look at the :member and :collection options to map.resources (or have a look at the routing guide Rails Routing from the Outside In — Ruby on Rails Guides )
