Question

I got a config/routes.rb file like this:

   map.resources :categories, :shallow => true do |cat|     cat.resources :entries,  :member => {:yes => :post, :no => :post }   end 

My goal is use yes and no as buttons that modify my entries (it is like a game, and yes and no are answers to the entries).

I would like that when I click on yes or no I will go back to category/:category_id/entries , because there is where I have the pretty layout, etc.

The problem is that I got to the yes method from entries/:entry_id So I lost the category id this entry is in and I dont know how to get a link to the category.

I guess I can try without using :shallow parameter so I got the full path but I am probably going to go further in the hierarqui (entries may have comments) and I want to learn with this simple problem how to manage this situation.

Answer 1

If your entries are subresources of your categories, then there is probably a parent-child relationship between the models, right? If so, then you can use:

redirect_to category_entries_path(@entry.category) 

in your yes and no methods.
