Question

I have a nested resources like this

resources :profiles do
    resources :albums do
      resources :images 
    end
  end
match ':username' => "profiles#show", :as => 'profile'

so as example the url of specific image is

http://localhost:3000/profiles/Azzurrio/albums/4/images/1

I can’t use profile username inside my template, when I use params[:username] it doesn’t work, so can anyone tell me how can I deal with this params?

Answer 1

This page (look for “nested routes”) tells you what you want.

In short, if you have the nested resource structure you’ve defined above, then the url will contain this structure:

profiles/:profile_id/albums/:album_id/images/:image_id

So you’re looking for params[:profile_id]
