Question

I have a many-to-many relationship between users and teams (as a has_many :through), and I’m trying to setup a “team members” join model as a resource in the routes.

In my layouts I’ve setup a “team context form” that sets a session variable for the current_team, and I want the route for the team_members resources to be defined as /team_members/:user_id/show. Is there any way to do this with the resources :team_members in routes.rb?

I’ve tried using :path_names => {:action => "\some\url"}, however for actions that require an :id the router appends the route to be something like "\:id\some\url"

Answer 1

edit:
If you want to be able to edit the team membership, you could have

resources :users do
    resources :team_members
end

and then, to edit the membership => /users/:user_id/team_members/:id/edit

And then you can do whatever you want in the team_members_controller.

Or as numbers1311407 said, just resources :team_members and you’ll have all the rest routes to work with the team memberships.

Really don’t want the standard /teams/:team_id/users/:id ?

If you really want /team_members/:user_id/show
You could just do

get "/team_members/:id/show" => "users#show"

But I dont think it’s a good idea.
