Question

I have a users_controller. I’ve created a portfolios_controller which I would like to act similarly to the users_controller; so GETing /portfolios/10 would actually pull the user with an id of 10. I’m not quite sure how to set up my routes for this. Here’s what I have right now in routes.rb:

get "portfolios/show"
resources :users

I got the following error when trying to access /portfolios/10: The action '10' could not be found for PortfoliosController.

Thoughts?

Answer 1

I would try a match statement with an :id parameter instead:

match "/portfolio/:id" => "portfolios#show"

Then you will have access to params[:id] in that action.
