Hi,

Following some of AndyV's useful advice, I added this

&nbsp;&nbsp;map.namespace :admin do |adm| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;adm.resources :client &nbsp;&nbsp;end

to my config/routes.rb file. However, when I visit [http://mydomain.com/admin/client/search](http://mydomain.com/admin/client/search) I get the error:

Unknown action No action responded to show

I am extremely confused b/c nowhere do I make reference to a "show" action. Here is the code of my app/controllers/admin/ client\_controller.rb file

=============Begin client\_controller.rb file==================== class Admin::ClientController \< ApplicationController

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;def search &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;def searchresults &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@users = User.search(params) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;def userdetails &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end end =============End client\_controller.rb file=====================

I do have a file, app/views/admin/client/search.rhtml, so I'm not sure why its not getting called. Thanks, - Dave

Thanks, Ryan. That worked.

So just to be clear, every time I want to add a new method to Admin::ClientController, I have to also add that to the collection listed below?
