Question

I am having a hard time making the slug from Friendly_id in a nested route when editing and creating? the routes look great for show.

http://0.0.0.0:3000/test/tester2

This is the URL I am getting when i try to edit tester2 is:

http://0.0.0.0:3000/2/tester2/edit

What i would like to see is:

http://0.0.0.0:3000/test/tester2/edit

Here is my code.

team.rb

class Team < ActiveRecord::Base
  extend FriendlyId
  friendly_id :name, use: :slugged
  has_many :videos
  ...
end

video.rb

class Video < ActiveRecord::Base
  extend FriendlyId
  friendly_id :title, use: :slugged
  belongs_to :team
  ...
end

routes.rb

...
resources :teams, :path => '', :except => [:index] do 
  resources :videos, :path => '', :except => [:index] do
    get 'full_res_download'
    get 'web_download'
  end
end
...

Thank you for your help.

I think it will work if you use this as your url helper instead:

edit_team_video_path(@video.team, @video)

If you give it the id explicitly, that’s what it will use.
