Question

I am making a twitter like web app in rails, following a course. I am trying to change the path but every time i start the server i get an eror and the server shuts down.

this is the path:

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

I have done routes before but they haven’t looked like that. I think this is a ruby route where as i’m on rails. I’m not too sure. I thought they would work.

Answer 1

Your resource would look something like this

PlatformAuth::Application.routes.draw do
  resources :posts
end

for the map.connect it’s more like a named route it would look something like

match ':controller(/:action(/:id(.:format)))' 

That will make all your controller actions available through a get request. Not sure if that’s really want you want though.
