Question

I am getting an error where it thinks my action is post id?

URL http://localhost:3000/posts/nexttwentyfive?lastid=1

def nexttwentyfive
  @posts = Post.find(:all, :order => "date", :limit => 25, :conditions => ["id=? AND created_at > ?", Time.now, params[:lastid]])

  respond_to do |format|
   format.html
   format.xml  { render :xml => @post } 
   format.json { render :json => @post }
 end
end 

map.resources :posts, :collection => { :nexttwentyfive => :get  }

I would follow @macarthy ‘s advice and restart the server/check routes.

The error you’re getting show the nexttwentyfive route is not recognized as the collection and it’s being handled as /posts/:id
